Family Documentation
One point of contact for your household's documentation, with related requirements aligned.
Mainly for: Families, spouses and dependants
About this service
When several family members need documentation at the same time — a new baby, a spouse joining, or renewals for the whole household — handling each application separately can lead to inconsistencies and repeated work.
SimplYes treats family documentation as a coordinated household solution: one point of contact, with related requirements aligned across applications.
Who this service is for
- Families with several members needing documentation at once
- Parents preparing documentation for a newborn or children
- Spouses and dependants joining family in Germany
