Untersuchungsberechtigungsschein Ausgabe

You want to start working life as a young person? Then you must have a medical examination before starting work.

If you are under 18 years of age and would like to start working (training), you must first undergo a medical examination (initial examination).

The examination will determine whether you are physically and developmentally suitable for this occupation.

This is to prevent you from suffering any damage to your health as a result of the work. After the examination, you will receive a certificate. You must present this to your employer.

You do not need an examination if you start a marginal job or if you only work for a short time (maximum 2 months). This applies, for example, to a vacation job or a student internship.

The examination costs are paid by the country. You must apply for the initial examination in order to be reimbursed for the examination costs.

If your application is approved, you will receive an examination authorization certificate from the authorities. You must bring this to the examination.

It is up to you to decide which doctor you want to be examined by.
