Registry office
The registry office records important events in life, such as births, marriages and deaths. These events are recorded in the respective civil status registers and the corresponding official documents such as birth, marriage or death certificates are issued. Name changes and church resignations are also processed.
In addition, the registry office offers wedding ceremonies at many special wedding venues.
Due to a current staff shortage, processing times at the registry office are longer than usual.
It may take several weeks to process your request at this time.
We therefore ask you to refrain from making inquiries about the status of your request within the first six weeks.
