Latvian Archives

Obtaining documents from Latvian state archives. We help officially confirm facts of birth, marriage, residence or property ownership in Latvia.

Latvian state archives hold exceptionally rich information spanning several centuries. We help obtain official extracts from church registers, civil registration records, and documents relating to nationalisation or restitution of property.

Our knowledge of the collection structure of the Latvian State Historical Archive (LVVA) and regional state archives allows us to efficiently locate the required information even with minimal initial data.
