Council and legal affairs

Tasks of the business unit

• Legal Department

  The legal advisors advise the divisions and units of the Wolfsburg city administration internally on all legal matters and represent the city in court.

  Unfortunately, you as a citizen cannot receive personal legal information or legal advice directly from the unit's lawyers, as this is prohibited by law.

  However, your personal interest is represented by the unit ensuring lawful administrative action. This leads to equal treatment and a concrete case-by-case examination of the facts for all of you.

• Local law

  The local laws regulate our common coexistence within the city of Wolfsburg. They are spatially limited to the city area, but apply to everyone and not exclusively to the residents of Wolfsburg.

  The statutes or ordinances are publicly announced in the official gazette before they come into force. This gives you the opportunity to find out about new or changed legal regulations.

  Over certification and apostille

  Do you have to present a document or certificate abroad which has been issued by the City of Wolfsburg, and does the responsible foreign representation require confirmation of the validity (apostille) of these documents?

  The apostille is issued by the Braunschweig Police Headquarters.

  If the state for which you need the documents has acceded to the so-called Hague Convention, you can contact the Braunschweig Police Headquarters directly.

  If you do not find the state in this list, the document or certificate must be pre-certified. The city of Wolfsburg is responsible for this pre-certification.

  The pre-certification is free of charge.

• Central Procurement Office

  As a contracting authority, the City of Wolfsburg is an important economic factor in the region.

  Whether construction measures, vehicle procurement or the commissioning of architects and engineers, public procurement law ensures that public funds are used economically within a legally secure framework. In this way, the Central Procurement Office makes an important contribution to preventing corruption.

  The Central Procurement Office receives the bids of interested bidders. The bids are opened here and, after they have been evaluated, the Central Procurement Office sends out the contracts.
