Property - Applying for a Certificate of Identity for Land Parcels (Flurstücke)
Grundstück - Identitätsbescheinigung für Flurstücke beantragen
Machine translation of the German page, 2026-09-15. The German original is binding.
An Identitätsbescheinigung (certificate of identity) serves as proof that a historical and a current Flurstück (land parcel) designation describe the same location on the ground.
Ownership information is kept continuously consistent between the Grundbuch (land register) and the Liegenschaftskataster (real estate cadastre) through a notification procedure. However, this procedure does not extend to rights and encumbrances on properties or parts of properties (Abteilung II [Section II] of the Grundbuch). As a result, repeated updates to parcels through division or merger can over time create uncertainty about which areas are actually affected by a given right. Contracts or agreements may also refer to old parcel designations that need to be matched to today's areas.
In such cases, the district Vermessungsamt (surveying office) can determine the current designations of the areas and confirm them with an Identitätsbescheinigung (certificate of identity).
