Search in the Civil Registry
What this service does
You can apply for a search about a specific person you believe to be a relative of yours. You need to know the person’s first and last name and the place and date of birth.
You’ll give as much information as you have. We’ll search it against the physical archives and we’ll reply to you within 2 months about this relationship.
Before applying, you can try the search by visiting District Administration. If you find the information you need through their digital system, it will be quicker and costless. If not, you can use this service.
It costs €50.
