The price is fixed — it does not depend on how extensive your case turns out to be. It is a one-off payment: no subscription, no account.

Send it yourself by post to the Bundeszentralamt für Steuern

The address is at the top of the sheet — it depends on which unit is responsible, and it has already been filled in for your case. Send the letter with the documents there by post. The Bundeszentralamt does not answer requests by email: the number is communicated exclusively by post to the registered address.

If you are applying for Kindergeld anyway and want to request your own number or a child's number at the same time, you do not need this process: in the Kindergeld application the same letter is produced as an enclosure, without you having to enter the details a second time — and it costs less there.
