Death abroad - application for notarization

If a German citizen dies abroad, you can have the death certified retrospectively at the relevant German registry office.

Description

Description

A death that occurred abroad can also be notarized, i.e. entered, in a German death register at your request.

With the so-called subsequent notarization, an entry is made in a German death register in addition to the notarization abroad, i.e. in addition to the entry in the death register of the country in which the death occurred.

Under certain conditions, you can apply for subsequent certification at the competent German registry office.
