When Haarlem is the correct municipality

The correct issuing authority depends on the type of record and where the underlying event or registration is held.

Civil-status event in Haarlem

Haarlem can issue certificates for births, marriages, registered partnerships and deaths registered in Haarlem.

Registration in the Haarlem BRP

A Proof of residence is connected to registration in Haarlem. People living abroad may need a different RNI or former-resident route.

Event registered elsewhere

If the event was registered in another municipality, that municipality normally holds and issues the relevant civil-status record.

Choose the version the foreign recipient accepts

The municipality issues the official document. The remaining question is which municipal version and international formalities the receiving authority requires.

Official municipal copy

The official copy is issued directly by Haarlem and contains the registered information for that civil-status event.

International extract

An international extract is shortened and multilingual. Ask the foreign recipient to confirm that it accepts this version before requesting it.

The document may still need international formalities

Depending on the destination and receiving authority, the municipal document may require an apostille, another legalisation route or a sworn translation.

From registration in Haarlem to use abroad

Start with the foreign authority’s exact request before ordering or translating the document.

1

Share the requirement

Send the foreign checklist, email, portal wording or rejection message.

2

Confirm the document

Identify the correct Haarlem record, version and request route.

3

Complete Dutch steps

Coordinate the agreed request, apostille or legalisation and translation order.

4

Deliver internationally

Arrange tracked delivery or the submission method required by the recipient.

An apostille is not automatically required

Some EU public documents are exempt from apostille. Other destinations may use an apostille or a longer legalisation route. The destination, document and recipient determine the correct sequence.

Why use Apostille Assist?

Useful when the municipal request is only one part of a wider international document route.

One coordinated route

The Haarlem request, apostille, translation and delivery can be planned in the correct order.

Support while abroad

Practical coordination is available when you cannot travel to Haarlem or receive the document conveniently.

Recipient-led review

The route follows the foreign authority’s wording instead of assuming that every municipal document needs the same treatment.

Information that helps clarify your route

A few precise details are usually enough for an initial review.

Document and registration

State the document type and whether the event or registration belongs to Haarlem.

Foreign instruction

Share the recipient’s exact wording, including version, issue-date, language and legalisation requirements.

Destination and deadline

Include the country, receiving authority, purpose, deadline and preferred delivery address.

Frequently asked questions

Which civil-status records can Haarlem issue?

Haarlem can issue certificates for births, marriages, registered partnerships and deaths when the event was registered in Haarlem. Other events normally belong to the municipality where they were registered.

Can I request a Haarlem municipal document while abroad?

Some routes can be started remotely or handled through an authorised person. The available route depends on the document, your eligibility and the identification or authorisation requirements.

Does a Haarlem municipal document always need an apostille?

No. The destination country, document type and receiving authority determine whether an apostille, EU exemption or another legalisation route applies.

Should I request an international extract?

Only when the receiving authority accepts it. An international extract is shortened and multilingual and may not contain the same information as the official municipal copy.

Can Apostille Assist request the document for me?

Request support depends on the document, your eligibility and the municipality’s identity or authorisation requirements. The complete route is reviewed before work begins.

Can the completed document be shipped abroad?

Yes. Tracked international delivery can be coordinated as part of the agreed route, with the destination and external shipping costs confirmed in advance.
