Temporary and occasional provision of services without list registration according to §§ 35 and 36 Saxon Architects Act (Sächsisches Architektengesetz/SächsArchG)

You have neither a residence nor a branch office in the Free State of Saxony and do not practice your profession predominantly here? Under certain conditions, you can also use the professional title architect, interior architect, landscape architect or urban planner without being registered in the corresponding lists at the Saxon Chamber of Architects (Architektenkammer Sachsen).

Before you as a foreign architect, interior architect, landscape architect or urban planner provide services in the Free State of Saxony for the first time, you must notify the Chamber of Architects of Saxony.

In addition, you can also be authorized to submit building documents under certain conditions without using the professional title of architect or interior architect.

Note: You do not need to notify the Chamber of Architects of Saxony if you have already notified the Chamber of Architects of another federal state of the provision of your services.

Professional title from the country of origin

If you are established within the EU or a state equivalent to these states, you may temporarily and occasionally provide services under the professional title that you use in the state in which you are established. Please note, however, that there must be no confusion with the professional titles "architect", "interior architect", "landscape architect" or "urban planner", which are protected under the Saxon Architects Act. However, you do not belong to the Saxon Chamber of Architects as a compulsory member.

Professional obligations apply. As an architect or interior designer, you are entitled to submit building documents in the Free State of Saxony to the same extent as in your country of origin.

Acting under the protected professional titles

You cannot or do not want to use the professional title from the EU member state or the equivalent state for temporary and occasional activity (examples: There is no corresponding professional title or you are not established in these states)? In this case, the Saxony Chamber of Architects must check whether your professional qualification is equivalent to the requirements here before you start practicing. You may then use the protected professional titles "architect", "interior architect", "landscape architect" or "urban planner".

Attention! If you use the professional titles "architect", "interior architect", "landscape architect" or "urban planner" without authorization, the Saxony Chamber of Architects is authorized to prohibit you from doing so. The unauthorized use of the professional title is an administrative offense that may be punished with a monetary fine.

Notes

• If you have an academic title (e.g. Dipl.-Ing., Bachelor, Master etc.), you are entitled to use this title irrespective of whether you use the above-mentioned professional title.
• In the case of an academic title based on a foreign educational designation, you use the title in the language of the member state of origin with the addition of the name and location of the educational institution or examination board that awarded the educational designation.
