You can apply for the issuance of a marriage certificate in person or in writing.

Apply for a marriage certificate in person:

• An appointment may be required for a personal application.
• You must present your identity card or passport.
• You pay the fee directly when applying at the registry office.
• In addition to yourself, a person you trust may also order and pick up the certificate for you. In addition to a written power of attorney, she presents her identity card or passport (original or copy) and her own identity card or passport.

 
Request the issuance of a marriage certificate in writing:

• Send an informal letter to the responsible registry office with the request to issue you with a marriage certificate.
• Your letter should contain the following information:
  • Surname, first name
  • Your registration address
  • Place and date of marriage and, where appropriate, establishment of the civil partnership
  • if known: registry office and notarization number
  • the reason for the application
  • if necessary, further evidence, for example for the legal interest
• Enclose a copy of your identity card or passport with the letter.
• You will then receive a fee notice, as well as the marriage certificate.
