What does Beitragsnummer mean?

The Beitragsnummer (contribution number) is your number at the Beitragsservice, which collects the Rundfunkbeitrag.

die Beitragsnummer · die Beitragsnummern (plural)

It is at the top of the letters from the Beitragsservice. The Rundfunkbeitrag (broadcasting fee) is paid per home, not per person.

If someone in your home already pays, one fee is enough. Then tell the Beitragsservice that person's Beitragsnummer.

Give the Beitragsnummer with every payment and in every letter. That way the Beitragsservice can match everything correctly.
