Deadline calculator

Calculate the expected end of an objection or filing deadline. The result is guidance only and not legal advice.

Important notes

What counts is the date of service (e.g. according to the certificate of service or envelope), not the date on the decision.
If the deadline ends on a weekend or a public holiday in North Rhine-Westphalia, it ends on the next working day.
For administrative acts sent by ordinary mail, the decision is in principle deemed notified on the third day after posting (§ 41 VwVfG). If in doubt, have this checked.
For Dublin decisions the urgent application usually has only one week. Call us immediately.
If the notice of remedies is missing or defective, a longer deadline may apply.
The deadline is only met if your letter reaches the competent body in time. Do not wait until the last day.

Legal notice: The calculator only considers deadlines expressed in weeks or months and the statutory public holidays in North Rhine-Westphalia. Special circumstances of the individual case (e.g. restoration of the status quo, other types of service, different deadlines) are not covered. No guarantee is given. The result does not replace legal advice.
