Online order of documents

You can only order documents online if the birth, marriage or death of a person has already been registered, or if the birth or death was after 1 January 1939 in Vienna or the marriage after 1 August 1938 in Vienna.

To order documents online you have to know the exact dates of the person whose documents you need. If you do not know the data but know at which registry office the birth, marriage or death was registered, please contact that registry office directly.
