Geburtenregister help
Hello! My daughter and wife have received their passports and we are now attempting to sort out their birth registrations. Thank you to everyone on this sub for all the great information.
Both were born in the states in wedlock.
My wife did not do a name change for her German passport for expediency. Her maiden name appears as her surname.
My wife was previously married (US name change), divorced (no name change) and married (US name change to daughter’s surname) to me at the time of our daughter’s birth.
Can my daughter get a Geburtenregister without processing these name changes for my wife? She is happy keeping her maiden name and we’re told it’s common in Germany.
Can we just send the relevant US documents, including divorce decree and marriage certificates to show our daughter was born in wedlock?
Thanks for any help unraveling this next chapter!
