Procedure
You can order the certificate in writing by e-mail or by DE-Mail.
You can fill out the form for requesting a certificate online and send it to the relevant registry office by e-mail/DE-mail. It is of course still possible to send the printed, completed form by post.
For every written request for a certificate, a legible and valid copy of an ID card (both sides) or passport must be enclosed as proof of identity. In the case of a request by e-mail/DE-mail as a scanned attachment/photo.
Data not required for the document request, such as height and eye color, may be redacted.
Our e-mail addresses are:
For the registry office Bremen-Mitte: urkunden@inneres.bremen.de
For the registry office Bremen-Nord: standesamtbremen-nord@inneres.bremen.de
We would like to point out that copies of ID cards contain sensitive data which should only be sent in encrypted form when using e-mail as a means of transport. For this purpose, we also offer you the option of sending the document request incl. scanned ID copy to us via DE-Mail.
Note:
Sending by DE-Mail requires that you yourself have a DE-Mail address, i.e. that you are authenticated within the DE-Mail network. An encrypted transmission path is only guaranteed within the DE-Mail network.
Sending to the DE-Mail addresses of the registry offices from a conventional mail account is not possible.
Our DE-Mail addresses are:
For the registry office Bremen-Mitte: EPS.050-SM@bremen.de-mail.de
For the registry office Bremen-Nord: EPS.050-SN@bremen.de-mail.de
For further information on DE-Mail we recommend the publications of the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) at

Requests by mail to the registry office Bremen-Mitte, Hollerallee 79, 28209 Bremen.
Requests by mail to the registry office Bremen-Nord, Gerhard-Rohlfs-Str.62, 28757 Bremen.
If you do not wish to send a copy/scan copy of your identity card or passport, the requested document can only be picked up in person, as the registry office must be satisfied that the document request is justified and that the person making the request is identical. Please make an appointment to pick up the document by calling 115.
For legal reasons, it is not possible to order certificates to be sent by telephone.
