German-Certificates.com - Platform for german birth-, marriage- and death-certificates

In Germany, the registry office is an office responsible for carrying out the tasks provided for in the Civil Status Act, in particular for maintaining civil status registers, preparing civil status documents and others.

Registry Office Online is a service for brokering documents, a private service provider that does not take on official tasks – but does provide civil status certificates (e.g. birth certificates). This website allows you to request vital records, including birth certificates, marriage certificates and death certificates, online.

Documents can be subsequently issued for every civil status case notarized in Germany. From this page you have the opportunity to apply for the civil status certificates you need online.
