A death that occurred abroad can also be notarized, i.e. registered, in a German death register at your request. The so-called subsequent notarization also applies to deaths on foreign sea-going vessels.

Deaths on foreign sea-going vessels are deaths abroad with the special feature that the place of death is a foreign sea-going vessel.

With the 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.

You can apply for the subsequent certification at the competent German registry office.
