Architektenkammer - Recht zur Führung von geschützten Berufsbezeichnungen durch auswärtige Dienstleister

As an external service provider, you can be entered in the special directory for external service providers of the Thruringia Chamber of Architects.

If you do not have your main residence, a professional establishment or the place of your predominant professional activity in Germany and are moving to Thuringia to provide temporary or occasional services in the field of architecture, interior design, landscape architecture or urban planning (external service providers), you must notify the Thuringian Chamber of Architects in writing in advance of your first activity in Thuringia.

In order to be entitled to use the protected professional titles "architect", "interior architect", "landscape architect" or "urban planner", including combinations thereof, or similar professional titles, you must be entered in the special register for non-residents. The registration committee of the Chamber of Architects decides on registration.

Upon application, you will be issued with a certificate of registration for a limited period of one year, which states that you are entitled to use the protected professional title.

Registration does not constitute membership of the Thuringian Chamber of Architects, a pension fund or any other institution.

However, you are obliged to observe the professional duties (§ 32 ThürAIKG).

As an external service provider, you must submit the following documents together with the notification:

• Proof of your professional qualification
• in the case of an intended self-employed activity, proof of the existence of appropriate professional liability insurance

As a rule, copies of all documents and certificates must be submitted.

All documents and certificates must be translated into German by a publicly appointed or sworn interpreter or translator.

There are no fees.

Upon receipt of your notification, you will receive a confirmation of receipt, any further information and the expected date of the meeting at which the Registration Committee will hear your registration.

The Chamber will confirm receipt of the notification within one month and inform you if the documents to be submitted are incomplete, which documents are still missing and need to be submitted.

No deadlines need to be observed.

No review in preliminary proceedings (opposition proceedings) is required before an administrative court action is brought against a decision of the registration committee at the Chamber of Architects.
