Understand your letter
Understand your official letter in plain language.
A letter from the Jobcenter, social services, or the tax office often reads like a foreign language. You upload it, we explain in plain words what it says and by when a reaction is expected. We do not assess your notice legally – for that we point you to the responsible places.
What you get
- Who wrote to you – sender and responsible authority at a glance.
- What it's about – the matter explained in a few clear sentences.
- What's being asked of you – without you having to look up legal paragraphs.
- Which documents you need – listed concretely, no guessing.
- A deadline overview – every date and deadline from the letter at a glance, so nothing slips through.
How it works
- 1Upload the letter as a photo or PDF
- 2We read it and work out what it means
- 3You get an easy-to-understand summary with a deadline overview
- 4You know what to do next
Here's what that looks like
A real example: a letter from the Jobcenter and how we explain it to you.

What this isn't
We don't review your letter legally and don't tell you what you're legally entitled to. This isn't legal advice. We help you understand the content and figure out the next administrative steps. For legal questions, contact an advice centre or a lawyer.
