On 01.01.2009 the civil status law (PStG) was changed in essential parts. Birth, marriage, civil partnership and death registers are now kept at the registry office.

The family registers created until 31.12.2008 are continued with regard to the spouses (not with regard to the children) as marriage registers at the marriage registry offices.

The civil status registers are only continued by the registry office within the legally prescribed continuation period of

• 80 years for marriage registers / civil partnership registers
• 110 years for birth registers
• 30 years for death registers

kept up to date. From this, the registry office issues certificates and information  service.stuttgart.de/ (opens in a new tab). Older civil status records can be viewed at the  Stuttgart City Archives (opens in a new tab).
