Business registrations are now possible online

Since this week, Chemnitz residents have been able to submit their business registrations to the City of Chemnitz easily, conveniently and digitally via the Amt24 online portal. As a business-friendly administration, the City of Chemnitz wants to offer local companies unbureaucratic and barrier-free access to its administrative services.

In Germany, there is basically freedom of trade. As a result, anyone who wants to run a business can do so. To do so, the business must be registered with the competent authority. In addition, changes and cancellations must also be applied for. This is associated with the submission of documents and evidence, which has also been integrated into the digital application process.

All administrative services can be accessed via the City of Chemnitz service portal at https://chemnitz.de/dienstleistungsportal. For a quick start, the new digital administrative service can be accessed via the following links:

The "business registrations" service is a further building block in the implementation of the Online Access Act (OZG). This law obliges the federal, state and local authorities to offer all suitable administrative services in Germany digitally via administrative portals and to link their administrative portals to form a network. In Saxony, a joint project approach is being implemented between the Free State and its municipalities.

In future, citizens, companies and organisations will be able to easily access online administrative services via the Saxon cross-administrative service portal Amt24(www.amt24.sachsen.de).

The prerequisite for using all services is at least the one-off and free registration and creation of a service account (item "My service account") on the Amt24 service portal.

In implementing the Digital Agenda, the City of Chemnitz has been gradually modernising all suitable services and administrative processes internally and externally in a strategic project since last year. The aim is to ensure that the online processes can be used successively via a standardised administrative portal in a legally compliant and data protection-compliant manner. Not only will the data be recorded in a standardised and digital format, but the aim is also to ensure that the data can be further processed without media discontinuity in the corresponding distributed specialist procedures and in the city-wide electronic file management system.

The City of Chemnitz has drawn up a roadmap for the TOP50 services for the online processes, which is currently being implemented step by step as part of the project work.
