Death abroad; application for subsequent certification in the German death register
Description
A death abroad can be subsequently notarized upon application to the competent registry office if the person who died abroad was a German citizen.
The registry office in whose jurisdiction the person who died abroad had their last place of residence or habitual abode is responsible for notarization. If this does not give rise to jurisdiction, the registry office in whose jurisdiction the applicant has or last had their domicile or habitual residence will notarize the death. If this does not result in jurisdiction either, the registry office I in Berlin will notarize the death.
