"Die Lizenz ist nur für einen Standort gültig. Dieser Standort ist der alleinige Durchführungsort der Prüfungen. Ein davon abweichender Durchführungsort in höchstens 20 km Entfernung muss bei der Prüfungsanmeldung angegeben werden."
Im weiteren Verlauf wird erläutert, unter welchen Bedingungen der "abweichende Ort" anstelle des regulären Orts benutzt werden darf. Ich hätte gern eine Entsprechung, bei der auch ein wenig mitschwingt, dass der Prüfungsanbieter es nicht so gerne sieht, wenn das Prüfungszentrum diesen anderen Ort nimmt (Sicherheit, Komplikationen usw.). Daher möchte ich nicht "alternative" oder so etwas nehmen.

rather than ‘alternate’ I think

| Thank you! Will I be persuaded that it has to be this, after all? |

Comment: "This was the most helpful answer because kwatkins and her supporters taught me that "alternative" can be used more widely than I originally thought. But it's better to say "location" as it is only a temporary venue- now that's another possibility.... "

emergency/contingent/ersatz location
None of which sounds particularly inviting
Note from asker:
| Thank you! Perhaps not "ersatz" as this is known to be a German word! |

: contingency (with a -cy) https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/continge... // Then I guess the EN-US adjective form of emergency is 'emergent'. Stay safe and get vaccinated pronto.

I had it, changed it, had it, changed it. Contingency is not an adjective in AE. But it works, too. Be well, my friend.

non-registered [exam] venue
Ein davon abweichender Durchführungsort in höchstens 20 km Entfernung muss bei der Prüfungsanmeldung angegeben werden
Should external circumstances dictate a change of venue, this must be within a 20km radius of the registered centre, and the examinations board must be informed.
regulärer Ort = registered venue/centre
abweichender Ort = non-registered venue
If it is 'abweichend' and up to 20km away, it can no longer be described as a 'centre'.

| Thank you, Lancashireman I was tempted by this paricularly because you were thinking outside the box. But I have a little niggling doubt because this "other" location has to be indirectly registered, too. Telling the examination board about it in advance is tantamount to registration isn't it? |
