Registry Office and Citizenship Association Lienz

Since November 1, 2014, the new Civil Status Act has been applied. Since then, births, deaths, marriages, and other civil status cases are no longer recorded in books that have been kept by the registry offices since January 1, 1939, but in the Central Civil Status Register (ZPR). Citizenship evidence is stored in the Central Citizenship Register (ZPS).

Please note:

The transition to the above-mentioned ZPR and ZSR results in significant and time-consuming additional work for each "birth registry office". This can lead to delays and waiting times. It is therefore advisable to make an appointment by phone.

To record civil status cases (births, marriages, deaths), the following original documents must be presented to the registry office:

Birth Certificate
Citizenship Certificate
Marriage Certificate (in case of dissolution of marriage also divorce decree or death certificate)
Birth Certificate of Child/ren
Acknowledgment of Paternity, Declaration of Custody
if necessary in the event of death - certificate of domicile

Marriages

Weddings can also be conducted without witnesses. The costs vary depending on the day and location of the marriage. The following wedding venues are available in Lienz:

The wedding room in the Liebburg is accessible for disabled persons and can accommodate about 50 wedding guests. Appointments are made in consultation with the registry office.
The castle chapel at Schloss Bruck is not accessible for disabled persons. Appointments are made exclusively in consultation with the registry office. This location can accommodate 45 people. More information at https://www.museum-schlossbruck.at/.

Deaths

Death certificates can be issued by any registry office in Austria, regardless of the place of death. The cost per certificate is € 9.30.

Citizenship certificates können von jedem Civil Registry Office in Österreich - nach vollständiger Erfassung der Person im ZPS - ausgestellt werden. Der Hauptwohnsitz des Antragstellers muss in Österreich sein. Bei Erstausstellung bis zum 2. Geburtstag des Kindes gebührenfrei, danach pro Nachweis € 39,60. Oben angeführte original documents are also required for the issuance of a citizenship certificate. Please make a phone appointment at 04852/600-510.
