German term

nfa

German to English Bus/Financial Law (general)
Einwohnerkontrolle nfa
[email address]

Meldebestätigung

Dieser Ausweis ist sorgfältig aufzubewahren und ........

This is on a Swiss confirmation of registration of an address in Switzerland. Could 'nfa' mean the English 'no further action' here. It's a strange place to put it if it is. It's just part of the administrative address.
Proposed translations (English)
2 -1 Restructuring/reorganisation of the redistribution of revenue

Thanks for letting us know!
lisa79 Aug 19, 2010:
So löst sich also das Rätsel auf, danke für die Information! (Und gut, dass du nachgefragt hast.)
Shane London (asker) Aug 19, 2010:
nfa I have received an email reply from the Einwohnerkontrolle as follows: "Dies sind die Initialen der Person, welche die Meldebestätigung bearbeitet hat."

That's one possibility I hadn't considered.
Shane London (asker) Aug 15, 2010:
Thanks for the suggestions. I will just footnote it as 'unknown abbreviation' although 'nachfolgend angegeben/aufgeführt' seems likely. I might just email the Einwohnerkontrolle and ask them.
Alison MacG Aug 13, 2010:
nachfolgen angegeben/nachfolgend aufgeführt ? If they are quoting an address, could it be something like that? nf is certainly a common abbrevation for nachfolgend.
lisa79 Aug 13, 2010:
Angesichts des bisherigen Verlaufs der Diskussion würde ich vorschlagen, beim Kunden nachzufragen, was "nfa" hier bedeutet.
Shane London (asker) Aug 13, 2010:
Lower Case Letters the 'nfa' is in lower case letters. That's why I wondered if it might be 'no further action'.

NFA Neugestaltung des Finanzausgleichs I believe it's to do with this. It's probably a census to establish how much each canton has to pay.

Restructuring/reorganisation of the redistribution of revenue

possibly...

NFA = Neugestaltung des Finanzausgleichs

When someone registers a new address, the figures for the respective canton(s) will change, regarding what they have to contribute, according to the new number of residents.


Peer comment(s):
disagree Cetacea : Switzerland's financial equalization system is based on a canton's financial resources i.e. tax income, and the largest chunk comes from corporations rather than individuals, so the "Einwohnerkontrolle" has nothing to do with this.
