Request extended information from the population register

If you need registration data about a person, you can request an extended registration information.

Detailed description

A registration information request provides you with information about a person stored at the residents' registration office. If the information contained in the basic registration information request is insufficient, you can also request an extended registration information request, which includes more information, for example:

  • previous names,
  • Birth date,
  • Place of birth (and country if born abroad)
  • Marital status,
  • current nationalities,
  • previous addresses,
  • Move-in and move-out dates,
  • Surname, first name and address of the legal representative
  • Surname, first name and address of spouse or life partner
  • Date and place of death (if death occurred abroad, also the country)

Prerequisites

  • You provide information that allows the person you are looking for to be clearly identified. This means that you already have data about the person in question (usually first and last name, date of birth, gender, or last known address).
  • They demonstrate a legitimate interest. The term "legitimate interest" encompasses any interest of a legal, economic, or even non-material nature that is recognized as worthy of protection.
  • For commercial inquiries, please also state the intended use of the data.

Documents required
