Issue a marriage certificate

Source: BUS Rheinland-Pfalz

The marriage is recorded (notarized) in the marriage register at the registry office. On the basis of this notarization - as long as the register entry has not yet been saved, also on the basis of a transcript - the registry office issues a marriage certificate upon request.

The following are included in a marriage certificate

the first names and surnames of the spouses,
the place and date of their birth and
the place and date of the marriage.

If the marriage is dissolved, this is stated at the end of the marriage certificate.

A certified printout from the marriage register can also be issued.

Special information for Association Höhr-Grenzhausen

Attention! Do not request any certificates via the "standesamt.com" portal. This is a third-party provider that publishes data from all registry offices and through which you can also request civil status certificates. This request for certificates via the portal is subject to a fee. However, these fees have nothing to do with the administrative fees charged by the registry offices, so you pay twice.

Request certificates via the website of the municipality of Höhr-Grenzhausen or contact us if you are not sure which document you need.

The personal data in the civil status register is subject to data protection. Marriage certificates can therefore only be issued

for persons to whom the entry relates

and their

spouse or spouses,
civil partner (within the meaning of the Civil Partnership Act) as well as
ancestors and descendants.

Other persons, including close relatives such as siblings, aunts and uncles, will only receive a marriage certificate if they can credibly demonstrate a legal interest (e.g. with a letter from the probate court, a court judgment or an enforceable title).

Apply in person:

Go to the relevant registry office.
Present your identity card or passport to prove your identity.
You usually pay the fee in advance when applying at the registry office.

A person you trust can apply for and collect the certificate on your behalf; your representative will present their own identity card or passport in addition to a written power of attorney and your identity card or passport or a certified copy thereof.

Application by post or fax

Send an informal letter to the relevant registry office asking them to issue you with a marriage certificate. Depending on the city or municipality, you may also find application forms on the Internet.
Your letter must contain the following information:
- Surname, first name,
- Date and place of birth,
- Date of marriage,
- Details of the spouse,
- if known: Registry office and registration number.
Enclose a certified copy of your identity card or passport with the letter.
You will receive a notification of fees when the certificate is sent to you.
