Halle: Up to 15% of Appointments for Personal Documents Go Unused
The city administration of Halle has revealed that a significant number of pre-booked appointments for the issuance of personal documents are going unused. Up to 15% of these appointments are not being taken up or cancelled, leading to approximately 500 wasted appointments each week. This is happening despite a high demand for these services, particularly during the travel season, which has caused waiting times to increase substantially.
The city administration has urged citizens to cancel any unwanted appointments to help free up these valuable slots for others. Currently, the city of Halle (Saale) is experiencing a high demand for personal document issuance, with the travel season being a particularly busy period. This increased demand has led to longer waiting times for appointments. The city is now encouraging residents to be mindful of their bookings and to cancel any appointments they no longer need, to help manage the high demand and reduce waiting times for everyone.
By cancelling unwanted appointments, citizens can help the city administration better manage the high demand for personal document issuance. This will not only reduce the number of wasted appointments but also help to decrease waiting times for those who genuinely need these services.
