Introduction

The DIGT API enables clinical information systems (KIS) and undertaker software (Bestatter-Software) to pre-fill a digital death notification (Sterbefall-Meldung) for the civil registry office (Standesamt) via xPersonenstand integration. This API allows integration partners to:

  • Create form mementos to generate pre-filled form URLs from case data
  • Enable user review by staff before official submission
  • Retrieve report results and status after end users submit forms to the Standesamt

Use Case

DIGT solves the digital transmission of a Sterbefall-Meldung:

  1. Source system (KIS / Bestatter-Software) has case data but wants staff to review and complete the form before xPersonenstand submission
  2. System calls API with report data as JSON, populating exactly one of the three report-type slots
  3. API returns an encrypted memento string and a magic link
  4. System uses the magicLink to open a pre-filled form
  5. User reviews, completes missing info, and submits to the Standesamt
  6. System polls for the delivery status and the report PDF
KIS / Bestatter-Software
    ↓
[1] POST /api/digt/v1/memento  (API user credentials)
    ↓
[2] Receives { "memento": "...", "magicLink": "/mtl/...?m=..." }
    ↓
[3] Constructs absolute URL: https://elim.vertamob.de + magicLink
    ↓
[4] Opens URL in browser — authenticated via MTL token
    ↓
End User
    ↓
[5] Reviews pre-filled data, completes form → submits to Standesamt
    ↓
KIS / Bestatter-Software (asynchronous)
    ↓
[6] GET /api/digt/v1/reports/{id}  → status (PENDING, SUCCESS, FAILURE) + report PDF

Benefits:

  • No direct automated submission — users maintain control and can review/correct data
  • Form validation happens in browser (immediate feedback)
  • Secure, encrypted mementos protect sensitive personal data

Prerequisites

Before using the API, you need:

  • API User Credentials: Username and password provided by your administrator
  • Standorte on your account: for Einrichtung (084020) and Todesbescheinigung (084040), the reporting hospital is one of the InEK Standorte assigned to your account (see Reporting Institution)
  • Receiving Standesämter: the Standesämter your users can send to are the ones assigned to your account's Standorte. Vertama sets up this assignment; a Standesamt that is not assigned cannot be chosen in the form
  • Test or production mode: each account runs in one of the two modes, switched by Vertama. In test mode, submissions only go to test Standesämter — no report reaches a real civil registry office. Start in test mode and ask for production once your integration works end to end

OpenAPI Specification

The complete OpenAPI specification is available at: 

https://elim.vertamob.de/api/docs/swagger-ui/index.html?urls.primaryName=DIGT

Authentication

The API uses HTTP Basic Authentication with your API user credentials (the service account provided by your administrator). End users accessing the form do not need separate credentials.

Example

curl -u "api-username:api-password" \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"id":"DIGT-2026-001","Einrichtung":{}}' \
  https://elim.vertamob.de/api/digt/v1/memento

Core Concepts

Sterbefall-Meldung and its three report types

DIGT covers three xPersonenstand message types. A single memento request wraps all three in slots, of which exactly one must be populated. The populated slot determines which HTML form variant the memento targets:

Slot Message type Form / target Reporter
Einrichtung 084020 Sterbefallanzeige (Einrichtung) Hospital / care facility
Bestatter 084021 Sterbefallanzeige (Bestatter) Undertaker
Todesbescheinigung 084040 Leichenschau-Mitteilung Physician performing the post-mortem examination

Populating zero or more than one slot is a validation error (400). The active slot determines which form the link opens after redemption (/digt/{084020|084021|084040}) — that target is encrypted inside the token, not part of the magicLink path itself.

Memento Pattern

A memento is an encrypted, URL-safe string that contains form pre-fill data:

  • Generated from JSON report data
  • Tamper-proof and URL-safe
  • Used as query parameter: ?m={memento}

The magicLink field in the API response is a server-issued, time-limited URL that: - Authenticates the end user automatically (no login page) - Redirects to /digt/{reportType}?m={memento} on success - Is a relative path — prepend your instance host to make it absolute

The link itself is /mtl/{token}?m={memento}. The redirect target (/digt/{reportType}) is encrypted inside the opaque token — it is not a readable path segment.

magicLink: "/mtl/eyJ...token...?m=eyJ...memento..."

Full URL: https://elim.vertamob.de/mtl/eyJ...token...?m=eyJ...memento..."

See Magic Token Link (MTL) for security details and token lifetime.

Report ID

The id field identifies one Sterbefall-Meldung of your API user. It serves multiple purposes:

  1. Form pre-fill and correlation: Correlates your case data to the form
  2. Status retrieval key: After submission, used to retrieve delivery status via GET /api/digt/v1/reports/{id}

Use a new id for every report. The memento endpoint does not check whether an id was used before — but sending the form is refused if a report with this id was already submitted ("Diese Meldung wurde bereits übermittelt"), since the same id twice would be a second filing of the same death.

Corrections and follow-up reports

DIGT has no correction or follow-up message: a submitted Sterbefall-Meldung cannot be amended or resent through the API. If facts change after submission, clarify this directly with the receiving Standesamt.

Choice fields ("either/or")

Several types are choices — populate exactly one branch and leave the other absent:

Type Branch A Branch B
Todeszeitpunkt (sterbefall.todeszeitpunkt) todestag — exact time of death (zeitpunkt, uhrzeitExakt) sterbezeitraum — period: last day alive (letzterTagLebend, optional letzterTagLebendUhrzeit) until death was certain (mitSicherheitTotZeitpunkt)
AnschriftInlandAusland (084040 verstorbener.letzterWohnort) anschriftInland — German address anschriftAusland — foreign address as free lines, or anschriftAuslandStrukturiert — structured foreign address
Uhrzeit (084040 angabenLeichenschau.uhrzeit) uhrzeit — { "wert": "HH:mm", "exakt": true/false } unbekannt: true — time unknown
Staat code — key from the Destatis state list nichtGelisteterWert — free text for an unlisted state (see Specifying a State)
Bestattungsart, CodeIdentifizierungsart code — value from the list (see Enumerations) nichtGelisteterWert — free text

TeilbekanntesDatum (084040 verstorbener.tagDerGeburt) takes either the full datum, or jahr with an optional monat when the exact date of birth is not known.

Memento Endpoint

Endpoint: POST /api/digt/v1/memento

Purpose: Create an encrypted memento string and magic link to pre-fill a DIGT reporting form.

This endpoint does not submit the report — it only creates a pre-fill token for the interactive HTML form.

Request Body

The body wraps all three report types (Einrichtung, Bestatter, Todesbescheinigung). You must populate exactly one slot — it selects the target form (and thus the redirect target /digt/084020|084021|084040, encrypted in the token). Supplying zero or more than one slot returns 400 Bad Request.

The only mandatory field is the top-level id. Everything else — including every field inside the chosen slot — is optional to allow partial pre-filling; the form validates completeness when the user sends it (see Formal API Definition for the complete schema).

Minimal Example (084020 — Einrichtung): 

{
  "id": "DIGT-2026-00001",
  "Einrichtung": {}
}

Extended Example (084020 — Einrichtung):

    },
    "leichenID": "L-2026-04-001"
  }
}

Example (084021 — Bestatter):

The undertaker form carries the most data: next of kin, marriage history and the certificates to be issued. The undertaker (anzeigender) gives their own name and address — standortId is not used here.

Example (084040 — Todesbescheinigung):

Filled in by the physician who performed the post-mortem examination. As with 084020, the physician's address comes from the Standort (standortId); you supply name and contact details.

{
  "id": "DIGT-2026-00125",
  "standortId": "770001",
  "Todesbescheinigung": {
    "verstorbener": {
      "vorname": "Hans Wilhelm",
      "familienname": "Mueller",
      "tagDerGeburt": { "datum": "1945-03-22" },
      "ortDerGeburt": "Hamburg",
      "geschlecht": "maennlich",
      "letzterWohnort": {
        "anschriftInland": {
          "strasse": "Musterstrasse",
          "hausnummer": "1",
          "postleitzahl": "10115",
          "wohnort": "Berlin"
        }
      },
      "identifizierung": { "code": "Nach Einsicht in den Personalausweis/Reisepass" }
    },
    "sterbefall": {
      "sterbeort": true,
      "ereignisort": { "strasse": "Klinikstraße", "hausnummer": "1", "ort": "Berlin", "staat": { "code": "000" } },
      "todeszeitpunkt": {
        "todestag": { "zeitpunkt": "2026-04-12T14:30:00+02:00", "uhrzeitExakt": true }
      },
      "natuerlicherTod": true,
      "totgeburt": false
    },
    "angabenLeichenschau": {
      "namenArzt": { "vornamen": "Julia", "familienname": "Becker" },
      "kontaktArzt": [
        { "kanal": "telefon", "kennung": "+49 30 123457" }
      ],
      "datum": "2026-04-12",
      "uhrzeit": { "uhrzeit": { "wert": "15:10", "exakt": true } },
      "ort": "Berlin"
    }
  }
}

Attachments (anhaenge): Einrichtung.anhaenge and Bestatter.anhaenge are accepted but currently ignored. Documents cannot be attached through the API; the report PDF V.ap generates from the form is attached automatically (084020/084021).

Reporting Institution (standortId)

For Einrichtung (084020) and Todesbescheinigung (084040), the reporting hospital is identified by its 6-digit InEK Standort-ID (standortId, top level of the request, next to id). Name and address are taken from the Krankenhausstandorte registry for that Standort and cannot be entered:

Slot Taken from the Standort
Einrichtung (084020) Name and address of the reporting institution (anzeigender)
Todesbescheinigung (084040) Address of the physician (angabenLeichenschau.anschriftArzt)

Contact person and contact details (ansprechpartner, kontaktdaten, namenArzt, kontaktArzt) are still supplied by you or entered in the form.

  • The Standort must be one of the Standorte of your account. A Standort that is not (or an unknown or malformed value) is ignored, as if none was given — the request is not rejected.
  • Without a valid standortId, the user picks one of the account's Standorte in the form; with only one Standort, it is set automatically.
  • For Einrichtung (084020), the receiving Standesamt is limited to the Standesämter assigned to the chosen Standort.
  • Bestatter (084021) ignores standortId; the undertaker's name and address are still entered.

Deprecated fields: Einrichtung.anzeigender.nameOrganisation, Einrichtung.anzeigender.anschrift and Todesbescheinigung.angabenLeichenschau.anschriftArzt are deprecated. They are still accepted, but ignored — the values from the Standort always apply. Do not send them in new integrations.

Specifying a State (staat)

For places (sterbeort, geburtsort and the other event locations such as the place of marriage) and for the structured foreign address (anschriftAuslandStrukturiert), staat is an object, as xPersonenstand defines it (Code.Staat):

  • code: key from the state list (Staatenliste) of the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), e.g. "000" (Germany), "129" (France), "368" (United States)
  • nichtGelisteterWert: free text, only if the state is not on the list

If both are given, code takes precedence.

"staat": { "code": "129" }

"staat": { "nichtGelisteterWert": "Beispielstaat" }

For a foreign address given as free lines (anschriftAusland), staat is the bare key itself (e.g. "staat": "368") — no free text, and not "000". At least two address lines of at most 35 characters each are required.

For postal addresses (letzterWohnsitz, the undertaker's anschrift and similar), staat remains free text.

The valid keys are listed in the state code list.

Response

Returns a JSON object containing the encrypted memento and a ready-to-use magic link:

{
  "memento": "eyJhbGciOiJkaXIiLCJlbmMiOiJBMjU2R0NNIn0..DGG5lQvJC8OpYrCt.Xm8YR...",
  "magicLink": "/mtl/eyJ...token...?m=eyJ...memento..."
}
Field Type Nullable Description
memento string No Encrypted, URL-safe string containing report data. Use as ?m={memento} query parameter.
magicLink string Yes Relative URL for authenticated single-click access. Prepend your instance host: https://elim.vertamob.de + magicLink

Detecting submission success from an embedding client

If you embed the DIGT form in a browser component (KIS container, modal plugin, iframe wrapper), you can detect the outcome from the URL alone:

  • Success: after a successful submission, the server responds with an HTTP 302 redirect to /digt/success/{id}?reportType={084020|084021|084040} — {id} is the id of your memento request.
  • Failure: no redirect happens. The review page is shown again with an error message; the URL stays the form URL (/digt/{reportType}). Nothing was sent to the Standesamt, and no report is recorded — the user can correct the problem and send again.

After seeing the success redirect, fetch GET /api/digt/v1/reports/{id}. It returns PENDING at first: delivery to the Standesamt is confirmed asynchronously.

Report Retrieval Endpoints

DIGT reports are delivered asynchronously via xPersonenstand/XTA2 transport: once the user has sent the form, the report shows up as PENDING and resolves to SUCCESS or FAILURE when the transport confirms or rejects the delivery.

Retention: report results are kept for 3 days after submission; a nightly cleanup removes the payload including the report PDF after that. Retrieve results within this window.

GET /reports — List pending report IDs

Endpoint: GET /api/digt/v1/reports

Returns an array of id strings for reports that have been submitted but not yet retrieved (unpolled). Reports disappear from this list once retrieved without ?peek=true.

Request: 

curl -u "api-user:api-pass" \
  https://elim.vertamob.de/api/digt/v1/reports

Response (200): 

["DIGT-2026-00123", "DIGT-2026-00124"]

An empty array [] means no submissions are pending retrieval.

GET /reports/{id} — Retrieve report result

Endpoint: GET /api/digt/v1/reports/{id}

Parameters:

  • id (path, required)
  • peek (query, optional): true for non-destructive read. Default: false.

Non-destructive peek: 

curl -u "api-user:api-pass" \
  "https://elim.vertamob.de/api/digt/v1/reports/DIGT-2026-00123?peek=true"

Response (200 — SUCCESS): 

{
  "id": "DIGT-2026-00123",
  "status": "SUCCESS",
  "module": "DIGT",
  "submittedAt": "2026-04-12T14:32:00Z",
  "portal": "GOVCONNECT",
  "receiptPdf": "JVBERi0xLjQK...",
  "failureReason": null
}

Status semantics:

  • PENDING: Sent, but delivery not yet confirmed. Never marked as polled.
  • SUCCESS: Successfully delivered to the Standesamt.
  • FAILURE: The transport reported a failed delivery. Contains failureReason.

Fields:

  • receiptPdf: base64-encoded report PDF — the Sterbefallanzeige V.ap generated from the submitted form (for 084020/084021 also attached to the message sent to the Standesamt). It is not a confirmation issued by the Standesamt and carries no signature. It is included for every status — PENDING, SUCCESS and FAILURE — until the report is consumed or the retention window ends.
  • portal: the Standesamt portal the report was sent through, e.g. GOVCONNECT, GOVCONNECT_TEST (test mode) or AKDB.
  • submittedAt: when the user sent the form.

Note: By default, reading a SUCCESS or FAILURE report is destructive — it is marked as polled, the report PDF is deleted, and the report is not delivered again (report-already-retrieved). Use ?peek=true and consume the report only once you have durably stored the result.

  1. GET /reports to learn which of your submissions have results waiting.
  2. For each id, GET /reports/{id}?peek=true.
  3. On PENDING, do nothing — it stays in the list and resolves later.
  4. On SUCCESS / FAILURE, store the result (and decode receiptPdf), then re-read without peek to consume it.

If your client detects the success redirect, start watching that id right after it. As a cyclic safety net, once per minute against GET /reports is more than sufficient — keep the cadence moderate. The result carries the report PDF base64-encoded and can be a few hundred kilobytes.

Poll well inside the 3-day retention window: results that are never fetched are removed by the retention cleanup and return 410 (report-expired).

Testing

The following IDs are reserved for testing. They return canned responses without a real report lookup, for every account, and are never consumed:

  • DIGT-TEST-SUCCESS: Always returns a SUCCESS response with a mock report PDF.
  • DIGT-TEST-PENDING: Always returns a PENDING response.
  • DIGT-TEST-FAILURE: Always returns a FAILURE response with a simulated failure reason.

Their portal is TEST-PORTAL.

Error Handling

HTTP Status Codes

Code Status Meaning
200 OK Request successful
400 Bad Request Request validation failed (e.g. invalid JSON, missing id, zero / more than one report-type slot populated)
401 Unauthorized Missing or invalid API credentials — empty body, WWW-Authenticate header
404 Not Found No DIGT report under this id for your API user
410 Gone Report already retrieved, or aged out of the retention window

Problem Details (RFC 9457)

Except for 401, errors are returned as RFC 9457 problem details with Content-Type: application/problem+json. Branch on the type URI — it is the stable machine-readable discriminator; title and detail are developer diagnostics and may be reworded.

type URI Status Documentation
…/problems/validation-error 400 validation-error
…/Products/DIGT/problems/report-not-found 404 report-not-found
…/Products/DIGT/problems/report-already-retrieved 410 report-already-retrieved
…/Products/DIGT/problems/report-expired 410 report-expired

Note that the two 410 cases share a status code but differ in type — one means "someone already consumed this", the other "it aged out". Distinguish them by type, never by status alone.

Validation Errors

A rejected memento request returns 400 with one errors entry per violated constraint, each carrying a JSON Pointer to the offending member of your request body:

{
  "type": "https://docs.vertama.com/problems/validation-error",
  "title": "Request validation failed",
  "status": 400,
  "detail": "1 violation",
  "instance": "/api/digt/v1/memento",
  "errors": [
    { "detail": "must not be null", "pointer": "#/id" }
  ]
}

pointer is absent for violations of the request as a whole, such as an unparseable body or a wrong number of populated slots.

Not-found is normal

A 404 between memento creation and the user sending the form is the expected state, not a fault in your integration — keep polling. If sending fails in the form, nothing is recorded either, so the id stays 404 until the user sends successfully. See report-not-found for the full case list.

Security Notes

Memento Encryption: - Mementos are encrypted with AES-256-GCM using your API user's key - Each memento is unique even for identical data - Tampering is detected and rejected

Magic Link Security: - Tokens are server-issued, short-lived and can be used only a limited number of times — see Magic Token Link (MTL)

Data protection: - Consuming a result (a read without ?peek=true of a SUCCESS / FAILURE report) deletes the report PDF on the server - Unretrieved results are removed after the 3-day retention window

Best Practices: - ✓ Generate the magic link close to the time the user opens it - ✓ Use a new id for every Sterbefall-Meldung - ✗ Do not expose mementos or magic links to unauthorized users - ✗ Do not reuse magic links; generate a fresh one for each workflow run
