Apply for a civil status certificate

Do you need a certificate from the registry office? Here you can find out more and access the individual service descriptions.

There are situations in life in which you need additional registry office certificates.
The Bremen registry offices only issue these certificates if the marriage, civil partnership, birth or death took place in the respective registry office district of the Bremen-Mitte or Bremen-Nord registry office or was subsequently certified and the deadline for the registry offices to keep the civil registers has not yet expired.

The following deadlines apply:

  • Birth register: 110 years
  • Marriage register: 80 years
  • Civil partnership register: 80 years
  • Death register: 30 years

Information on older civil registers can be obtained from the Bremen State Archives .

We can issue these documents for you:

  • Certified register printouts from all registers (e.g. for registering a marriage)
  • as a certified copy if the register is kept on paper,
  • as a register printout if the register is kept electronically
  • Birth certificates (also multilingual),
  • Death certificates (also multilingual),
