    Obtaining my Birth Certificate from Russia

    My topic is probably out of place in this discussion board, but I have a question for all of you. Any help would be appreciated. I need to obtain my Russian birth certificate in order to get married in Germany. German authorities require me to have a birth certificate in order to get married there. Does anyone know how I would go about obtaining a birth certificate from Russia. Is there a specific agency there that deals with birth certificates?

    Thank You

    ЗАГС, or Civil Registry.  Your relatives, if you have any left there, may be able to assist you.

    you have to know the exact place of birth and based on that there could be several locations where you record is located. there is no centralized system. if you are born in a small city where there is only one ZAGS - that's easy. moscow can be tricky as technically your parents could register you at any ZAGS and there are hundreds of them in moscow only... as I know they will not issue a duplicate without power of attorney which you have to create for the person applying on your behalf (e.g. mom).

    There is an Archive in any region. ZAGS doesn't keep such records for very long period.
