The following documents must be submitted if the death occurred at home:
- Death certificate of the physician who carried out the inspection of the corpse (green form and red envelope in North Rhine-Westphalia – closed for the medical officer!)
- If possible, the family register or marriage certificate or – if the deceased was unmarried – the birth certificate, and a certificate if widowed or divorced (possibly the family register), and if these are not available, then at lest the identity card/passport of the deceased.
- The person reporting the death to the register office must present their identity card or passport.
The following documents must be submitted if the death occurred in a hospital or old people's home:
- Death certificate of the physician who carried out the inspection of the corpse (green form and red envelope in North Rhine-Westphalia – closed for the medical officer!)
- Notification of death (the form is issued by the hospital/old people's home)
- If possible, the family register or marriage certificate or – if the deceased was unmarried – the birth certificate, and a certificate if widowed or divorced (possibly the family register), and if these are not available, then at lest the identity card/passport of the deceased.
The following documents must be submitted if the police are involved in the investigation of the death (e.g. in case of an accident, suicide or murder):
