Which Certificate Do You Need?
The foreign receiving authority determines which version is accepted. Check the exact request before ordering, apostilling or translating the certificate.
Need a Certified Copy?
A full certified copy contains the registered death details held in the Dutch civil-status records.
Need a Multilingual Extract?
A multilingual international extract may be sufficient for some foreign procedures, but it is not accepted everywhere.
Must It Be Recently Issued?
Some authorities require the death certificate to have been issued recently. Always check the permitted issue date.
Is Enschede the Right Municipality?
For a death certificate, the municipality where the death was registered in the civil status records is decisive.
Registered in Enschede?
If the death was registered in Enschede, the Municipality of Enschede can normally issue the official certified copy or extract.
Living Elsewhere?
The applicant's current residence or the deceased person's last residence does not change where the record is held. Enschede is normally the correct municipality when the death was registered there.
Registered Elsewhere?
If the death was registered in another Dutch municipality, you normally request the death certificate from that municipality.
Which Version Will Be Accepted?
The Municipality of Enschede issues the death certificate. The correct version and international formalities must then be determined based on the receiving authority's requirements.
Official Certified Copy
The official certified copy is issued directly by the Municipality of Enschede and contains the registered death details held in the civil-status records.
Need a Multilingual Extract?
An international extract is shorter and multilingual. Ask the foreign receiving authority to confirm in advance that this version is accepted.
Depending on the destination country and receiving authority, the death certificate may require an apostille, another legalisation route or a sworn translation.
