Request for a Death Certificate

Requesting a death certificate is a service designed to obtain an official document confirming a person’s death if the original is lost or was never issued. The process involves submitting a request to the Civil Registry Office (ZAGS) and the relevant archives.
What does the service involve?

Requesting a death certificate is the process of obtaining a document confirming a person’s death when the original certificate is lost or unavailable. This document is required for resolving legal and administrative matters, such as inheritance procedures, closing bank accounts, or other legal processes.


The applicant will need to provide a passport and, in some cases, additional documents confirming kinship.


The service includes several stages, such as collecting necessary information about the place and date of death, submitting a request to the Civil Registry Office or archives, verifying the information, and receiving a new certificate.


If the applicant is located outside the city or even outside the country, the service allows obtaining the document without an in-person visit, significantly simplifying and speeding up the process. Obtaining a new certificate may be required to address issues related to inheritance rights or other legal obligations.
