About this edition

service.berlin.de describes every service of the Berlin administration: what you need, what it costs, where to go. About a third of those pages exist in English. The rest are German only, including some of the ones newcomers need most.

This site fills the gap. Where the city has an English page, it is shown here unchanged and marked official. Where it has not, the German page is translated by a language model with the city's own terminology, marked as a machine translation, dated, and linked to the original. Fees, deadlines and document lists are copied, not paraphrased, but the German page is the one that counts if anything differs.

Same service numbers and paths as the original, so swapping the host on any service.berlin.de link lands on the English page.

1141 services, 358 with official English, 783 machine-translated, rebuilt 2026-09-15.
