Sponsorship Certificate

In order to be able to take over a sponsorship office for a baptized person, you need a proof which entitles you to take over a sponsorship office. This is especially necessary if you do not belong to the parish where the baptism takes place. On the one hand, a baptismal certificate or godfather certificate can act as proof. Thus, you can testify that you are baptized or confirmed and that you are a member of a church congregation elsewhere. A sponsorship certificate can be applied for at the parish office of the parish of residence or parish. The parish of your baptismal place is responsible for the baptismal certificate. Depending on the affiliation of the religious community, the application may be linked to different requirements. Further information on the sponsorship certificate and also baptism certificate can be obtained from the parish of your place of residence.
