Requesting a birth certificate is a service designed to obtain an official document confirming a person’s birth. If the original certificate is lost or inaccessible, the procedure includes contacting the Civil Registry Office (ZAGS), archives, or other government authorities responsible for maintaining civil status records.
The process may include the following stages:
This service is particularly relevant when a person cannot submit the request in person due to residing in another region or abroad.
Once the request process is completed, the applicant receives an official birth certificate that can be used for various legal and administrative purposes, such as inheritance procedures, school enrollment, or obtaining citizenship.
Important!
If a document raises doubts or requires additional clarification, a request is sent to the competent authority that issued the document.
In this case, the processing time will be extended.
