When is this relevant?

A Dutch marriage certificate may be requested for international use in situations such as immigration, residency, nationality procedures, family registration, spousal visa applications, name changes, inheritance matters, or official registration abroad.

Start with the correct document route

Not every marriage certificate situation is straightforward. Some cases only require an apostille, while others may involve a recent extract, sworn translation, multiple documents, legalisation, or additional authority requirements.

Avoid choosing the wrong step
