Employment agencies for jobseeker registration in Germany

Each agency covers a set of addresses, so start with your city

Registering is easiest online or on the free national phone line, but the local Agentur für Arbeit is the office that advises you afterwards. Start with your city: you will see which branch covers your address, whether you can drop in or need to book, and why you should use only one way of registering.

    Have your contact details, expected employment end date, qualifications and work history ready. Report once rather than through several channels. Tell the agency if the date later changes. An account activation code can be completed later where necessary to protect the reporting deadline; do not wait for a routine advice appointment before making a required report.
