Data Quality at AmtsGuide
How we collect, verify and keep government data up to date.
Stand: 17. April 2026 · Redaktionell geprüft
Our Promise
Every piece of information on AmtsGuide carries a date and a verification status. On every page you can see when the data was last updated and whether a human has verified it. No hidden sources, no outdated information without a label.
Two Quality Tiers
AmtsGuide distinguishes two tiers of data quality:
Automatically Collected
The data was collected automatically from government websites. Our software reads official sources and structures the information: fees, opening hours, addresses, application requirements. This data is current but has not yet been cross-checked by a human.
You can recognise this tier by the label Automatically collected in the page header.
Editorially Verified
A member of our team has compared the data with the original source and confirmed it. Verified facts can only be changed through a new human review. If the source changes, the page is automatically flagged for re-verification.
You can recognise this tier by the label Editorially verified in the page header.
How We Collect Data
AmtsGuide collects information from official sources:
- Websites of city administrations, district offices and federal authorities
- Official fee schedules and administrative regulations
- Government portals and online services
Our software regularly checks these sources for changes. When a data point changes, the affected page is automatically updated and submitted for re-verification.
What Happens When There Are Errors?
No system is error-free. If you find an error:
- Report it via the contact form or by email to info@amtsguide.de
- Our team reviews the report and corrects the data point
- Corrections are usually visible within 24 hours
Transparency
AmtsGuide provides general information about administrative processes. We do not replace legal advice and accept no liability for the accuracy of individual details. Binding information can be obtained from the responsible authority.
Every page shows in its header when the data was last updated and whether it has been verified by a human. This allows you to assess for yourself how current and reliable the information is.
