How to Find the Records[edit | edit source]
Offices to Contact[edit | edit source]
The Bureau of Civil Status Acts (ZAGS) creates and maintains civil registration. The bureau is subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and is separate from the national archive system.
Civil registration offices exist at the local and regional levels. Copies of local registrations are sent to regional offices.

Historical Background[edit | edit source]
Registration of births must be done within two months of birth and deaths within three days.
Registration offices are next to "marriage palaces" permitting the registration and performance of weddings to occur at the same place and time.[1]
Time period: 1920-present.
Coverage and Compliance[edit | edit source]
Coverage was low for the first decade of registration, then 85% thereafter. The civil war of the early Soviet period inhibited registration. For two years it was not enforced. The system was established first in urban and later in rural areas. Gaps persisted through 1926. Civil registration broke down in the occupied areas during World War II, and some registers were burned.[1]
