Einverständniserklärung (declaration of consent)

What is it?

An Einverständniserklärung (declaration of consent) is a document. By signing it, you confirm that you agree to something.

Where can I get it?

You may be asked to sign an Einverständniserklärung in many different situations. For example:

  • when submitting an application
  • at a doctor’s office
  • when your child goes on a school trip

Only sign if you have understood everything in the Einverständniserklärung. You can always ask questions if something is unclear.

What does it look like?

The Einverständniserklärung  is usually a paper form or a PDF. It may include, for example:

  • what you are giving permission for
  • your name
  • a field for your signature
