- Progress updates via WhatsApp
Document Service
For obtaining the marriage certificate or coordinating a route involving multiple steps.
- Review of the complete document route
- Coordination of all agreed Dutch-side steps
- Options for apostille, certified translation and tracked international delivery
Municipal fees, court fees, translation costs and courier charges are external costs and are confirmed separately before work begins.
When Amersfoort Can Issue the Marriage Certificate
A Dutch marriage certificate is held by the municipality where the marriage or registered partnership was recorded.
Marriage Registered in Amersfoort
The Municipality of Amersfoort can issue a certified copy when the marriage or registered partnership was recorded in Amersfoort.
Marriage Registered Elsewhere
When the marriage was recorded in another Dutch municipality, that municipality normally holds and issues the certificate.
Born Abroad
A marriage concluded abroad may have been registered in the Netherlands. The correct issuing authority and document route should be checked before applying.
Choose the Version Accepted by the Foreign Authority
The recipient’s exact wording determines whether you need a certified copy, an international extract or another version.
Certified Copy of the Marriage Certificate
This official copy reproduces the registered marriage details and is often requested for civil registration, immigration, family-law, pension or name-change procedures.
International Birth Extract
A multilingual marriage extract can be useful abroad, but it is abbreviated. Confirm that the recipient accepts this version before ordering.
Recent Issue Date
Some authorities require a newly issued certificate. Check whether the recipient has specified a maximum age for the document.
Foreign authorities may distinguish between a marriage certificate, registered-partnership certificate, full certified copy and multilingual extract. Share the written instruction before ordering.

Complete the steps in the order required by the destination country and receiving authority.
Share the Requirements

One Clear Route
The request, apostille, translation and delivery can be coordinated in the correct order.
Support While Abroad
Practical handling is available when you cannot travel to Amersfoort or receive the certificate yourself.
Recipient-Led Review
