If you no longer know the location of the event registered by the registry office, please contact the general register of the Hamburg registry offices in writing. There it can be determined which registry office has notarized the civil status case.

For cases of civil status (birth, marriage, death) that have been recorded in a Hamburg registry office since 2009 , further documents can be issued in all Hamburg registry offices .
These documents, which are issued by a civil registry office other than the notarizing registry office, are provided with the addition - Certificate in accordance with Section 67 (3) of the Civil Status Act.
Important note !: With this addition, documents are not recognized abroad, eg birth certificates for entry into the USA. They must be issued by the registry office originally responsible.
