Works with letters from: Finanzamt · Krankenkasse · Ausländerbehörde · Jobcenter · Bundesagentur für Arbeit · Rentenversicherung · Inkasso · and more
Type the sender and subject line — we will tell you what it is in seconds. Free.
Take a photo or upload the PDF. Any official German letter works — typed, handwritten, or the kind that looks alarmingly formal.
Our AI reads the German, understands the context, and figures out what this letter is actually asking of you.
We tell you what the letter means, whether it's urgent, and exactly what to do next. No dictionary required.
There's a difference between knowing what the words say and knowing what the letter means. Here's what that looks like in practice.
A general AI will try its best — but it doesn't know that Überprüfung bedarf from the Finanzamt has a specific 4-week response window, or that ignoring an Inkasso letter triggers court escalation in Germany. We do. That's the only reason expat.fyi exists.
Your letter is processed and immediately discarded. We don't keep it, log it, or store it anywhere.
Your documents are never fed into AI training datasets. Not ours, not anyone else's.
No login means no profile, no history, nothing linked to you. Upload, pay, read, done.
€2.99 per letter. One upload, one explanation, one payment. However many pages.
50+ German bureaucracy words explained in plain English — Steuerbescheid, Rundfunkbeitrag, Fiktionsbescheinigung and more. Grouped by topic. Free to use and share.
Free plain-English guides to the most common German official letters. Understand what arrived — before you decide what to do next.
No. Upload your letter, pay, read your explanation. That's the whole process.
No. We process your document to generate the explanation and then it's gone. We don't store, log, or use your letters for anything else.
If our explanation doesn't cover what you need, we'll tell you — and you won't be charged. We'd rather be honest than take your money for a half-answer.
Very good for standard official letters. For complex legal disputes or court documents, we'll flag that you should also speak to a professional.
Card payments via Lemon Squeezy — secure checkout. No account required.
If the handwriting is clear, yes. If it's the kind even native Germans struggle with, we'll let you know.
