The professional title "engineer" is protected by the Lower Saxony Engineering Act (NIngG). If you have neither a place of residence nor a professional establishment in Germany and temporarily and occasionally carry out professional engineering tasks in Lower Saxony within the meaning of Section 2 NIngG, you may use the professional title "engineer" if you are entered in the register of foreign engineers. The provision of the service must be reported to the Chamber of Engineers.

If one year has passed since the last notification and you still intend to provide services in Lower Saxony and use the professional title "Ingenieurin" or "Ingenieur", this must be reported to the Chamber of Engineers.
