Civil registry extract

You may sometimes be asked to present a document showing your birth or marriage details. You will need a copy or extract from the civil status record for this. An civil registry extract may contain information about birth, marriage, registered partnership, divorce and death. Authorities may also request other documents.

Some authorities will need proof from you with data from the Civil Registry. This can be data about a birth, divorce, death, marriage or registered partnership. A certificate will have been drawn up for these events. This certificate is always kept in the municipality where it took place. You can request a digital copy or extract of this certificate, or make an appointment online to collect it and pay for it at the Burgerzaken counter (only with a debit card).

You can request the following extracts from the Civil Registry online:

All forms are Dutch only.

You will receive the extract within 5 working days of payment being received.

Please note: You can only request these extracts/copies of certificates from the municipality where the event took place. For example, the registration of a birth or marriage which took place in Almere. You will unfortunately not be eligible for a refund if you have applied for a certificate, but the event didn’t take place in Almere.
