How to get a birth certificate from Germany?

Question

Hello all,

My girlfriend was born in Stuttgart, Germany to American military parents. She is now 18 years old, and her birth certificate has been lost. What does she need to do to obtain a new one?

Thank you.

If she was born on the base, technically she's born in the US and should ask the military about her b/c.  If she was born in a civilian hospital not on the base, she could contact Stuttgart city, start here: http://www.stuttgart.de/sde/menu/frame/t... or here: [e-mail]
