How should I submit my documents?
As a rule, the authorities do not want visitors on site. Therefore, please send your documents to the authorities by post - preferably by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.
As a precaution, you should make and keep an “officially certified copy” of all documents submitted. If something gets lost, you will then have a certified copy of your documents.

I do not yet have all the required documents in full, can I already submit an application for licensure/recognition with the documents I have?
Yes, as long as you have at least your diploma, your complete CV and a B2 certificate, you should submit your application now. You can/should submit all other documents at any time.
Why should I hurry with my application for licensure/recognition?
There are several reasons for this. First of all: the authorities are “heavily overloaded”. It takes quite a long time, often months, before your application can be processed. Then there may be missing documents that you still need to obtain and submit. This can all take time. It is therefore advisable to submit your application for approval/recognition quite early.
You will need the “confirmation of receipt” from the authorities so that you can register for the specialist language examination (FSP) at the relevant chamber.
If you are still abroad and waiting to enter Germany, you will need the so-called “Defizitbescheid” from the responsible authority for the visa. And the consulate or embassy will again need time to process your visa application.
