I have received mail from a court
How the roadmap works. Answer the questions. Your roadmap is built from them. It shows what kind of letter this is, whether a deadline is running and where you can get free help. Important: never leave mail from a court lying around. Many deadlines are only 2 weeks long and cannot be extended.

Your situation
Your roadmap
As of November 2026. The roadmap arranges general information according to your answers. It does not review an individual case, does not replace legal advice and does not assess your dismissal or any deadline as valid, met or missed. Whether an entitlement exists is decided by the responsible office; deadlines and amounts change often – check important details with an advice centre.
Ask your question
On a decision, deadline, application or responsibility. You get an answer with the matching page, the responsible office and the next step, usually within two working days. No legal advice in individual cases, no sharing of your data.
