How to add family dates in Notenz

Passports and Kita fees are already on the common-dates list. You can add three more family dates, and tag each one with a person.

What you can tick

Kindergeld, a school deadline, and a child's ID or passport. Open Add common dates, tick the row, and enter the date.

Tag a person on each item

Add Me, your partner, or a child's name under People. On the date, choose For. The name shows on the card and in the reminder email. You do not have to tag anyone.

School dates are not one federal deadline

Enrolment and the first day of school differ by Land and by school. Enter the date you were given. Notenz does not invent a nationwide school date.

A child's ID or passport

The Kinderreisepass has not been issued since 1 January 2024. If one is still valid, keep that expiry date. After that, children use a Personalausweis or a regular Reisepass. Enter the date printed in the document.

Kindergeld, and the six-month rule

What to report, and why the application date matters, is in the Kindergeld guide. A decision under the EStG is challenged with an Einspruch, not a Widerspruch.

Reminders

Adding these dates, the person tags and the reminders come with Guardian.
