You could try the British Consulate in Dusseldorf!

This is copied from a previous post I made on a similar topic.

"If you know somebody who uses the following site:-

http://www.findmypast.com/home.jsp

you should be able to find a reference number for the Registration of Birth. My second daughter was born in Munster and I had to go down to the Consulate in Dusseldorf to register the birth (long story). The entry for my daughter, in 1976, shows the following details (I have put it in list form as the example page I have is not supported)

Name of Child - Her surname followed by forename(s)
Mother's maiden name - My wife's maiden name
Reference - Post - Dusseldorf (usually the Consulate the birth was registered with)
Volume - A letter, more then likely "C", if it was Dusseldorf.
Page - A sequence of numbers, anywhere from one to four numbers.
Date of Birth - Usually shown as just the year if the date was not given, or the day's date and two letters of the month. In my case it shows 04JE.

The more detail you can give on the application the better, but not all the details may be needed if you know date, place, etc.

With the registration details you will be able to apply for a copy of the certificate. If you look at this site:-

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/order_certificates/Search_for_overseas_records/Order_and_buy_certificates.asp

It gives you all the details of how you can apply, fees, order form etc.

Hope this helps

The entry will most likely be in the Military section of the site. What is the surname in question?

(Sorry, that should have been year of birth, not surname!!)

Paul.

Two of our four children were born in Germany. We needed copies of their birth certificates for passports. We went to the main Registry in Edinburgh ( got advice from local registrar) where all overseas records are kept.Got them that same day, it took 15 minutes and about £15.00 each.
