The district administrative offices are the regional service centers of the state of Upper Austria. They are the first point of contact for citizens, conduct administrative procedures, and also serve as the administrative penalty authority of first instance. Our staff make official decisions in a wide variety of areas of life – from driver's license and passport matters to business and investment procedures, as well as social, security, traffic, health, and nature conservation issues. In this way, we ensure that key services of the state administration are provided locally, reliably, and in a citizen-friendly manner.
