Order a death certificate

Do you need a death certificate? You can obtain this from the registry office that recorded the death. The registry office issues the death certificate from the death register.

A death certificate serves as proof of a person's death. It includes the place and date of death, the person's first and last names, and information about their spouse.

You can obtain the death certificate in the following formats:

  • Death Certificate
  • Family Register
  • International (multilingual) death certificate
  • Certified printout from the death register

A certified printout from the death registry contains all the data that the civil registry office has recorded in connection with the death.

You can order the certificates online. We will send them to you free of charge.
