Civil registration records from many towns and states are available on microfilm or online. However, many civil registration records, especially those created in 1876 or later, are still only available in the local civil registration office or archive in Germany that has the originals. Germany has no single repository of civil registration records. A person's records may be found in one or more locations. Civil birth, marriage, and death records may be found by contacting or visiting the local civil registration office or archive. | Civil registration records from many towns and states are available on microfilm or online.
