If a German citizen dies abroad, you can have the death registered retroactively with the appropriate German civil registry office.
A death that occurred abroad can also be recorded—that is, entered—in a German death registry upon your request.
Through what is known as “retroactive registration,” in addition to the registration abroad—that is, in addition to the entry in the death register of the country where the death occurred—an entry is made in a German death register.
Under certain conditions, you can apply for subsequent registration at the appropriate German civil registry office.
