Why this status inquiry is important to the municipality:
Official delays can have serious consequences – for example in time-critical procedures. A written request shows that you are still interested in the process and increases the likelihood of a prompt response. The template helps you to present your request in a respectful and structured manner and prevents your request from being “lost”.
For optimum effect, include clear information in your letter, such as the type of request, date or file number. Wordings such as “Status request according to my request of [date]” are particularly effective – also recognized by authority processes.
