Civil registration refers to vital records kept by the government. There was little civil registration for Denmark before 1874. The information from civil registration offices is not readily available to the public, except for the part of Denmark that was under German administration from 1863 to 1920.

In 1874, German civil authorities registered births, marriages, and deaths in Tønder, Haderslev, Åbenrå, and Sønderborg counties. (These counties were under German administration from 1863 to 1920.) After 1874, almost all individuals who lived in these counties are recorded in both civil records and church records.
