Job search & register at the employment agency

🚨
Those who don't register in time risk a suspension of unemployment benefits – this can last several weeks!

If you lose your job or actively search: Register at the employment agency on the very first day of unemployment at the latest. This is essential for unemployment benefit and job placement. In Augsburg you can reach the agency in person or online.

💡 Weitere Tipps
  • 📅 Register at the latest on day 1 of unemployment – even if notice period is still running
  • 💻 Online at arbeitsagentur.de possible – no personal appointment strictly required
  • 📋 For ALG I: at least 12 months of insured employment in the last 2 years
  • 🔍 BA job portal: jobboerse.arbeitsagentur.de

Apply for a criminal record certificate

Many employers require a criminal record certificate when applying. There are two types: the standard certificate (for private purposes and most jobs) and the extended certificate (for work with children or in special sectors). You apply online or at Bürgerbüro Augsburg.

⚠️The extended criminal record certificate is mandatory for all work with children and young people (§ 72a SGB VIII). Missing certificate can lead to immediate rejection.
