Registry offices for birth, marriage and death certificates

Your home city may not be the right one: the place of the event decides

Choose the city that holds the entry you need. Each office shows how it takes orders, whether online, by post or at the counter, and what proof of identity or family relationship to bring. Delivery and payment rules differ, so check them before you order, and confirm opening times and booking rules before you travel to an office.

    Provide an identity-document copy. Relatives also provide relationship evidence; other applicants provide evidence of legal interest or authorisation. Give accurate event details and specify the certificate type and purpose. Send postal orders to Standesamt, Postfach 12 00 20, 01001 Dresden. Do not use the old Provianthofstraße visitor address shown in some contact blocks. Online orders are generally not cancellable after submission. For use abroad, ask the receiving authority which certificate format and authentication it needs. Dresden cannot arrange or forward the certificate for an apostille: where required, the certificate holder must apply separately in writing to Landesdirektion Sachsen. An EU multilingual standard-form translation aid can be ordered for €15 initially and €5 for another in the same language; this is distinct from a multilingual civil-status extract.
