Untersuchungsberechtigungsschein

Youth Employment Protection Act (JArbschG)

Anyone under the age of 18 who wants to start a job must undergo a medical examination (youth health and safety examination). Employers are not allowed to employ young people without this examination.

The following are required for this

• an examination authorization certificate (serves as a billing document and must be handed in to the examining doctor) and
• a questionnaire (serves to describe the current physical and mental situation and must be completed in full and submitted to the examining doctor).

Identity card or passport or - if available - the child's identity card

There are no fees. The costs of the medical examination are borne by the state if your main place of residence is in Lower Saxony.

For young people who are employed for a maximum of four weeks per calendar year during the school vacations, a youth health and safety examination is not required.

You can obtain the examination authorization certificate from the registration office responsible for your main place of residence. The choice of doctor is free.
