You can apply for a grant for fertility treatment via the online service or in paper form:

Online service

• The online service guides you step by step through the application process.
• You can submit the required documents digitally.
• The application is automatically saved temporarily for 4 days if you use the service account. Otherwise, no temporary storage is currently possible.
• To complete and submit the online application, you either need a service account or you can authenticate yourself with the new ID card and the AusweisApp2. If you do not yet have a service account, you can register for one. You can do this during the online application process.
• The application must be signed either digitally using AusweisApp2 with the new ID card or on paper using the cover sheet.
• If you meet all the requirements, you will receive a provisional grant notification.

Paper form

• You can find the application to print out here in the service portal under "Forms" or on site at the responsible office in paper form.
• Complete the application.
• Attach a copy of the required documents to the application.
• Send everything by post to the responsible office or hand in the documents on site.
• If you meet all the requirements, you will receive a provisional grant notification.

Once you have received the provisional grant notification, you must have the fertility treatment carried out within six months. After the treatment, you must apply for final approval and payment of the grant. You can find more information on the application for final approval and payment in the service "Applying for payment of the grant for fertility treatment".

The grant must be applied for before the start of treatment. The treatment may only be carried out after receipt of the provisional grant notification.
