Understand this official letter

Paste the text or upload a photo of a German official letter. Ezilens extracts the facts; deadlines, risk and next steps are calculated with fixed German-law rules (receipt fiction, holiday rollover, your state's calendar). Nothing about the letter is stored.

Why official rules matter for German paperwork

German letters are full of dates, legal references and state-specific deadlines. Ezilens separates the facts from the assumptions before showing the next step.

  • Contract law since March 2022 (§ 309 Nr. 9 BGB): no more automatic 1-year renewals — you may cancel monthly after the initial term.
  • Working days & state holidays (§ 31 VwVfG): legal deadlines shift over weekends and the holidays of your Bundesland.
  • DIN 5008 + federal formulas: facts, RVG/BGB math and official assumptions stay visible from input to document.

Banking-grade privacy (GDPR): the letter text, photo, your name and case number are NEVER stored. During processing your identifiers become an irreversible cryptographic fingerprint (SHA-256) used solely for fair-quota protection — reconstructing the text from it is impossible.

Electricity, internet, mobile, gym … the engine computes your legally safe dates (§ 309 Nr. 9 BGB), the letter comes out DIN-5008-ready.

Educational explanation, not legal advice. For binding questions see a Beratungsstelle or lawyer.
