Sadly common. Tips that actually help (Approbation Germany mail drama edition):
• Always send with tracking + keep the receipt + screenshot “delivered”.
• Address exactly as on the checklist (department name matters).
• Put your name + birth date on the envelope AND on the first page, so they can assign it.
• If delivered but “not found”: wait 2–3 working days, then call during phone hours and ask for *Eingangsstelle/Poststelle* (often it’s stuck there).
And for safety: keep a full scanned copy of everything you sent. Never mail originals unless explicitly requested.
