Service Centre Access - Protect Yourself and Others
The service centres of the ZBFS are still open for you. However, we urgently appeal to you to avoid visits to the ZBFS for the protection of all visitors and employees in the current difficult situation and to present your concerns by telephone or online. If you urgently need to make an appointment at the ZBFS, we ask you to book an appointment in advance using our Online Appointment Reservation Tool. This allows us to ensure that our infection control measures (such as maintaining distance) can be met.
If you have no or only insufficient knowledge of German, we would like to ask you to bring an accompanying person with appropriate language skills as far as possible in order to avoid comprehension difficulties during your visit to the service center. This facilitates and accelerates the processing of your request.
How to reach your ZBFS

Dear Bavarian residents,
the Bavarian Centre for Families and Social Affairs (ZBFS) is a central state authority with responsibility for a range of social benefits and services in Bavaria. Various family benefits paid to parents fall under our remit, as does formal recognition of the disability status of severely disabled persons.
ZBFS is directly subordinate to the Bavarian Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare, Families and Integration. Headquartered in Bayreuth, we also have offices throughout Bavaria in Munich, Nuremberg, Augsburg, Regensburg, Würzburg and Landshut. more
