Need a Zwolle
divorce certificate?

Voor een geschikt origineel uit Zwolle wanneer al duidelijk is dat een apostille nodig is.

Which divorce document do you need?
De buitenlandse instantie bepaalt welke versie wordt geaccepteerd. Controleer daarom eerst het exacte verzoek voordat u de akte aanvraagt, laat apostilleren of vertalen.
Volledig echtscheidingafschrift nodig?
Een volledig gewaarmerkt afschrift bevat de geregistreerde scheidingsgegevens en eventuele latere vermeldingen uit de burgerlijke stand van Zwolle.
Court judgment
Een meertalig uittreksel kan voor sommige buitenlandse procedures voldoende zijn, maar wordt niet door iedere instantie geaccepteerd.
Final proof
Sommige instanties eisen een recent afgegeven akte. Controleer daarom vooraf welke afgiftedatum is toegestaan.
Is Zwolle the correct authority?
Voor een echtscheidingsakte is de gemeente waar de echtscheiding in de burgerlijke stand is vastgelegd doorslaggevend.
Geboorte in Zwolle geregistreerd?
Als de echtscheiding in Zwolle is geregistreerd, kan de gemeente doorgaans het officiële afschrift of uittreksel afgeven.
Do you need the judgment?
Uw huidige woonplaats verandert niet welke gemeente de akte bewaart. Zwolle blijft de juiste gemeente wanneer de echtscheiding daar is geregistreerd.
Geboorte elders geregistreerd?
Is de echtscheiding in een andere Nederlandse gemeente geregistreerd, dan vraagt u de echtscheidingsakte normaal gesproken daar aan.
Which document will be accepted?
De gemeente Zwolle geeft de echtscheidingsakte af. Daarna wordt bepaald welke versie en internationale formaliteiten de ontvangende instantie verlangt.
Municipal extract
The official certified copy is issued directly by the Municipality of Zwolle and contains the registered birth details from the civil status records.
Court judgment
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 birth certificate may require an apostille, another legalisation route or a sworn translation.
From Zwolle to use abroad
Start with the exact request from the foreign authority before ordering or translating the document.
