How it works

How FreierTermin works

Four steps, no bureaucratese, no tricks. We show you the way to the appointment – you book with the authority yourself.

The four steps

  1. 01

    Enter place and request

    Type your city or postcode and describe your request in everyday language, for example "ID card expired" or "re-register car".

  2. 02

    Find the responsible authority

    We show you the responsible office and the nearest office – with address, opening hours, distance and the official booking link.

  3. 03

    Compare status

    Every office gets an honest label: Available, No appointments found, Not available live or Check required. Never invented times.

  4. 04

    Set an alert and book officially

    Nothing free? Create an alert. When a slot opens up we notify you by e-mail or push – you then book directly on the authority's website.

The four statuses you will see

We only ever show what we actually know. Every status carries the time of the last check.

  • Availability: Available

    Available

    There were free appointments at the last check. The link leads straight to the official booking.

  • Availability: No appointments found

    No appointments found

    The check ran successfully, but nothing was free. An alert lets you know as soon as that changes.

  • Availability: Not available live

    Not available live

    We are not allowed to query this booking system automatically. You get the official link and check for yourself.

  • Availability: Check required

    Check required

    The last check failed or is outdated. Please look on the official website.

Example rendering of the status labels – not real availability.

Appointment alerts

We keep checking so you do not have to

Create an alert for your request. As soon as a matching appointment opens up you get a message with the official booking link.

  • E-mail

    Reliable, with a direct link to the booking page.

  • Push

    Straight to your phone or desktop, even when the app is closed.

  • Quiet hours

    Silence at night – you decide when we get in touch.

  • Gentle on government systems

    Each booking system is checked at most once per interval, no matter how many alerts are waiting for it.

Create alert

What we do not do

  • We do not book appointments for you and do not fill in forms.

  • We do not bypass CAPTCHAs, logins or other access restrictions.

  • We do not send personal data to government systems and do not invent availability.
