| | Justizministerium | Explanation:
I'll try that one again... ;-)
Although the "Standesamt" is the one that does this, I suppose the closest German equivalent to "Department of State for Justice" would be "Justizministerium".
Perhaps this is referring to a particular part of the "Standesamt". Most of the "Standesämter" are organized into "Sachgebiete" - this particular task is carried out by the "Sachgebiet für Eheschließungen, Begründungen von Lebenspartnerschaften". :-)

The particular service you are describing is called the \"Ausstellung eines Ehefähigkeitszeugnisses\" (literally \"the ability to marry\", which one has if one is no longer married) and is done in Germany (like I said) by the \"Standesamt\". ;-) |

4 mins confidence:   Standesamt
Explanation:
That is a weird sounding 'department'. I think it is the "Standesamt" in Germany that does what this 'department' seems to do. :-)
