nachgefordert

Nachgefordert is the past participle of the German verb nachfordern. It describes the act of requesting something again or requesting additional information, documents, or payment after an initial request has been made. The term is commonly used in bureaucratic, legal, and business contexts, where authorities, courts, banks, or agencies demand further information or charges that were not provided or settled in the first round.

Etymology and grammar: nachfordern is a compound of nach- (after, subsequently) and fordern (to demand). It is a separable-prefix verb; in present tense forms you typically say fordere … nach (Ich fordere die Unterlagen nach). In perfect tense it takes the auxiliary haben: Ich habe die Unterlagen nachgefordert.

Usage and examples: Nachgefordert is used with noun phrases such as Belege, Unterlagen, or Zahlungen. Common collocations include nachgeforderte Belege, nachgeforderte Unterlagen, nachgeforderte Zahlung, and nachgeforderte Stellungnahme. Example sentences: Das Finanzamt hat weitere Belege nachgefordert. Nachgeforderte Unterlagen wurden fristgerecht eingereicht. Die Behörde stellte eine nachgeforderte Stellungnahme an den Auftraggeber.
