That's... exactly what this is as well? Are you getting a different UI that I'm not?
This can also cause delivery failures the other way around - a friend in Germany once sent me a package but didn't bother writing the apartment number on it because she assumed the postman would use my name to find the right box.

The German authorities have no incitive to digitize and fix the broken bureaucracy because for one, in their mind there's nothing wrong with it because Germany is Europe's wealthiest country so it can never be wrong, and secondly, digitizing bureaucracy means increased efficiency which means less public servant jobs and they don't want that. What they want is more bureaucracy and more cushy public servant jobs pushin…

Oddly enough it doesn't list countries where most people are likely to come from right at the top. That makes it ill designed still.
I’d say the opposite: “Warning, you’re not done!”

If you have different browser language settings, then yes, you are getting a different UI.
