Request extended information from the civil register

If you can show that you have a justified interest in receiving information, the competent authority may issue you with an extended registration register information.

In order to obtain extended information about individual specific persons, you must credibly demonstrate a legitimate interest in doing so. The term "legitimate interest" includes any legal, economic or non-material interest that is deemed worthy of protection.

You will receive information on surname, first name, doctoral degree, current addresses and, if the person is deceased, the reference to this.

In addition, you will receive information about former names, date and place of birth and, if the person was born abroad, also the state, marital status, limited to whether or not the person is married or in a civil partnership, current citizenship, former addresses, move-in and move-out dates, surname and first names and address of the legal representative, surname and first names and address of the spouse or civil partner, date and place of death and, if the person died abroad, also the state.

The recipient of the information has the obligation to inform the data subject in accordance with Article 14(1) - (4) of the GDPR. Exempt from this are the cases listed in Article 14(5) of the GDPR if and to the extent that

• the data subject already has the information,
• the provision of this information proves impossible or would require a disproportionate effort,
• the obtaining or disclosure is expressly regulated by German or Union law to which the controller is subject and which provides for appropriate measures to protect the data subject's legitimate interests, or
• the personal data is subject to professional secrecy, including a statutory duty of confidentiality, in accordance with German or Union law.

In the case of simple or extended information from the civil register, the obligation to provide information pursuant to Art. 14 DSGVO also does not apply if

• its fulfillment would impair a legal interest, in particular the assertion of legal claims, unless the data subject's legitimate interest in fulfilling the information obligation prevails.
