Detailed description
The death notice for the death certificate at the registry office is usually made by the undertaker.
The registry office in whose district the person died is responsible for notarizing a death (only recent deaths).
Every death that occurs in an institution is reported by this institution (retirement home, nursing home, hospital, hospice) to the responsible registry office. The facility usually also sends the death certificate (death certificate) from the doctor to the registry office. Another notification of death, which also contains data that the facility may not have, is usually sent by the undertaker to the responsible registry office. The undertaker also sends the registry office the documents required for certification, such as the deceased's ID card or passport, the deceased's birth certificate, the deceased's marriage certificate, if applicable, the divorce decree or the spouse's death certificate, etc. Which other documents might be necessary depends on the individual case.
The registry office in whose district the person died is always responsible for notarizing a death.
