The Wiesbaden registry office issues birth, marriage/partnership and death certificates as well as certified copies from the civil status registers. You can order these online via the citizen service portal. We will send the documents to you free of charge within six to seven working days. In particularly urgent cases, we can make certificates available for collection in the WI-Box.

Certificates contain personal data that is subject to data protection. However, only persons to whom the entry relates and their spouses, ancestors and descendants in a direct line can receive information from civil status registers or the issue of a civil status certificate. This is regulated by the Civil Status Act § 61-66.

Siblings who are at least 16 years of age receive birth and death certificates if they can prove a legitimate interest. Third parties only receive a certificate with a power of attorney and a copy of the identity card of the person granting the power of attorney (here: Person in the deed in the case of deeds of all types or lineal relatives of the person in the deed in the case of death certificates).
