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
