My comment:

A quote from the link below:

"What is a vital record?

Vital records and vital events are defined as birth, death, fetal deaths (stillbirth), induced termination of pregnancy, marriage and divorce certificates and reports."

Wikipeadia has an entry on VITAL STATISTICS where you can flip between English and German (where it is called PERSONENSTANDSBUCH)

In Deutschland nennt man die dafür zuständigen Beamten die STANDESBEAMTEN (sie sind nicht nur für Trauungen zuständig)
