Eingangsnummer

Eingangsnummer refers to an entry number used in various contexts, primarily in German-speaking countries. It is assigned upon the initial contact or registration with authorities, institutions, or organizations. The primary purpose of issuing an Eingangsnummer is to create a permanent and unique record of an individual's or entity's entry.

In Germany, anlegen (or application) typically triggers the issuance of an Eingangsnummer by the relevant authority or organization. This entry number can be used in various administrative and official contexts, such as public services, social benefits, or company registration. The exact function and application vary depending on the organization or institution that provides the Eingangsnummer.

In some cases, the Eingangsnummer can be linked to a detailed profile or dossier. For example, when an applicant submits a job application, their Eingangsnummer may be used to generate a file containing relevant information. Similarly, for social benefits or public services, the Eingangsnummer may serve as a reference point for individual records.

Eingangsnummer is often associated with formalized procedures and data management systems. In many cases, it facilitates processing and streamlining administrative tasks. However, the specific procedure for assigning and using Eingangsnummer might differ across institutions. Generally, the entry number is considered a temporary identifier until a more permanent registration number or another unique identifier is assigned.
