A1 certificate
Clearly regulated, reliably supported.
When working on construction sites in Germany, the A1 certificate is essential proof that your skilled workers are covered by the social security system of their home country.
Why A1 certificates are so important
Without valid A1 certificates, inspections may result in queries from clients and authorities, project interruptions, or, in the worst case, construction site shutdowns.
This is how our A1 support works
1. Clarification of requirements
We check which employees require A1 certificates and for what period.
2. Specifications and checklists
We will provide you with clear guidelines on which A1 certificates need to be applied for, including time periods and assignment to projects and employees.
3. Requesting A1 certificates
We keep track of the status and actively remind you of missing A1 certificates. That way, you won't miss a thing.
4. Testing and documentation
We check the A1 certificates for completeness, correct time periods, and correct allocation—and document them neatly.
5. Transmission to the client
Upon request, we will send the A1 certificates to the client in a bundled and clearly arranged format—as proof before and during a project assignment.
6. Ongoing monitoring
Since A1 certificates are valid for a limited period of time, we monitor their validity periods and notify you in good time of any necessary follow-up applications.
Now safe with A1 checks
Your benefits at a glance
- Less risk of construction site stoppages
- Smooth approval by client
- Clear evidence instead of queries
- One contact person for the entire process
In short: A1 certificates are not a mere formality.
They form the basis for being on the safe side in terms of social security law when working in Germany.
Important information about the construction site
We’ll take care of the A1 certificates for you so you don’t have to worry about them, and we’ll help ensure that everything is submitted correctly and on time. Depending on the assignment, additional documents may be required (e.g., identification documents, posting notification, assignment logs, and proof of minimum wage, contract, or insurance).
In practice, missing or incomplete documentation quickly leads to follow-up inquiries and significant additional work—and can even result in service interruptions, withheld payments, or fines.
We ensure that all necessary documentation is complete and are immediately available if needed.
