You can request certified copies of registers that lie between the above-mentioned periods from the Jena City and Administration Archive.

The Jena registry office issues certificates from the civil registers of the following dissolved registry offices:

We would like to process your request for the issue of certificates as quickly as possible. With this in mind, we would be very grateful if you would refrain from making further inquiries about the processing status. This will enable us to process your request as quickly as possible.

Civil status certificates can be issued and handed over in person during office hours, by prior appointment. Certificates are issued to the person concerned, their parents or relatives in the direct line. Other persons will only receive certificates on presentation of a corresponding power of attorney. We ask anyone who is able to attend the registry office in person or who can have an authorized person do this for them to make an appointment to pay for and receive the civil status documents directly on site.
