(personal code in the former GDR) and place of birth.

To
2.1
: Application for yourself
The Stasi Records Act (StUG) distinguishes between records of the State Security Service about persons con-
cerned, third parties, beneficiaries and employees of the State Security Service. This distinction plays a role in
determining the scope of access rights and whether fees are charged.
Persons concerned refers to persons about whom the State Security Service collected personal data through
deliberate, including secret, information-gathering or spying measures.
Employees of the State Security Service refers to official employees and unofficial collaborators.
Beneficiaries refers to persons who were substantially assisted by the State Security Service, or who at its
behest were protected from prosecution for a criminal act, as well as persons who planned or committed crimi-
nal acts with the knowledge, connivance or assistance of the State Security Service.
Third party refers to other persons about whom the State Security Service collected personal data, but for
whom deliberate information-gathering did not take place and individual files were not created.
Information on submitting an application as a third party:
Information may also exist about you in the records that the State Security Service compiled on other persons.
In these cases you qualify as a third party and as such may apply for expanded right to access the records. To
do this you must submit the complete name, birth date and place of residence of the person whose records you
believe may contain information about you. Information will only be provided when the amount of effort this
would require is not disproportionate to your right to receive information. It is therefore important that you ex-
plain why you believe that information about you may be found in records concerning another person.
To
2.2
: As a near relative to a missing or deceased person
According to the Stasi Records Act, near relatives are spouses, children, grandchildren, parents and siblings.
Relatives up to the third degree may apply to view records when no near relatives are available.

To

: Information needed to find records about you
The State Security Service of the GDR maintained a district administration and district office in each of the for-
mer districts and information was gathered there. For this reason it is important that all addresses (including
secondary apartments) until 1990 are provided with the street names as they existed at that time (even when
there was a change of address within a district).
Additional information that may be useful to finding records include:
the time and place that the believed spying took place, time, place and reason of a court sentence, information
about the prison sentence, information about worksites/functions, other references to places and people, desti-
nation of travel and visits within the GDR.
2.3
After receiving your application, we will send you a confirmation of receipt by postal mail, including a journal
number. As soon as the documents are available, a password and the link for downloading the documents will
be sent to the e-mail address you have provided. Please use the journal number sent to you by postal mail as
your username.

: Information for application as a near relative of a missing or deceased person
Near relatives (spouses, children, grandchildren, parents and siblings) may receive access to records about a
missing or deceased person when they provide a credible and justified interest and when no overriding legiti-
mate interests of others are affected.
If no near relatives are available, then relatives up to the third degree (grandparents, uncles, aunts, nieces,
nephews and great grandchildren) may also receive access to records for the purpose of rehabilitation, protec-
tion of privacy rights and clarifying the fate of missing / deceased person.
Access cannot be granted when the missing or deceased person left behind other provisions or when other
circumstances indicate that this would have been contrary to his wishes.
To
4.1
: Information about the missing or deceased person
Please provide all names, including first names, name at birth and other past names (e.g. from previous mar-
riages) of the missing or deceased person.
The State Security Service of the GDR maintained a district administration and district office in each of the for-
mer districts and information was gathered there. For this reason it is important that all addresses (including
secondary apartments) until 1990 are provided with the street names as they existed at that time (even if there
was a change of address within a district).
Please include proof that the person about whom you are submitting the application is missing or deceased
(e.g. a copy of a death certificate or a missing person’s report).
To
4.2
: Applicant’s family relation to the missing or deceased person
Please indicate your family relationship to the missing/deceased person by ticking the correct box and including
proof. Suitable proof includes copies of civil status certificates (e.g. a birth certificate).
As a near relative you must present a credible and justified interest and show coherently that you intend to use
these records to re-examine events or state measures related to the GDR regime. Please provide precise in-
formation about the circumstances to be clarified. You may write your comments in the area provided or on a
separate sheet.
To
4.3
: Relatives up to the third degree
Please indicate your family relationship up to the third degree and include proof. Suitable proof includes copies
of civil status certificates. Please show credibly that no near relatives as listed in item 4.2. are available.

protection of privacy rights and clarifying the fate of missing/deceased persons. Please tick the appropriate box.
You must present the purpose of your application credibly (e.g. by presenting certificates or written statements)
and explain the relevance to the activities of the State Security Service. Please use the space provided or a
separate sheet. A general interest in viewing records is not sufficient grounds for receiving access.
To

: Reasons for urgency

This special urgency must be justified. Please list the reasons or provide copies of proof.
