Which Marriage Certificate Do You Need?
The foreign receiving authority determines which version is accepted. Confirm the exact requirement before ordering, apostilling or translating the certificate.
Need a Full Certified Copy?
A full certified copy contains the registered marriage or partnership details and any later annotations.
Need a Multilingual Extract?
A multilingual international extract may be sufficient for some foreign procedures, but it is not accepted by every authority.
Must It Be Recently Issued?
Some authorities only accept a recently issued marriage certificate. Always check the permitted issue date.
Is Groningen the Correct Municipality?
For a marriage certificate, the municipality where the marriage or partnership was registered is normally decisive.
Marriage Registered in Groningen?
When the marriage or registered partnership was recorded in Groningen, the Municipality of Groningen can normally issue the official certified copy or extract.
Living Somewhere Else Now?
Your current place of residence does not change which municipality holds the record. Groningen remains the correct municipality when the marriage was registered there.
Marriage Registered Elsewhere?
When the marriage was registered in another Dutch municipality, you normally request the certificate from that municipality.
Which Marriage Certificate Will Be Accepted?
The Municipality of Groningen issues the certificate. The receiving authority determines the required version and international formalities.
Official Certified Copy
The official certified copy is issued directly by the Municipality of Groningen and contains the registered marriage or partnership details.
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 marriage certificate may require an apostille, another legalisation route or a sworn translation.
From Groningen to International Use
Start with the foreign authority's exact instructions before ordering or translating the certificate.
Share Requirements

Sommige openbare documenten die binnen de EU worden gebruikt, zijn vrijgesteld van de apostilleplicht. Andere bestemmingen vereisen een apostille of uitgebreidere legalisatie. Het land, de akte en de ontvangende instantie bepalen de juiste route.
Why Use Apostille Assist?
Useful when obtaining the marriage certificate is only one part of a broader international document route.

Handling It From Abroad?

Frequently Asked Questions
Where Do I Request a Groningen Marriage Certificate?
Wanneer de marriage in Groningen is geregistreerd, vraagt u het officiële afschrift of uittreksel normaal gesproken aan bij de gemeente Groningen.
Can I Request a Groningen Marriage Certificate From Abroad?
De beschikbare route hangt af van uw recht op de akte, de identificatievereisten en eventuele voorwaarden voor een volmacht. Apostille Assist kan de praktische mogelijkheden vooraf beoordelen.
Does a Groningen Marriage Certificate Always Need an Apostille?
Nee. Het bestemmingsland en de ontvangende instantie bepalen of een apostille, een EU-vrijstelling of een andere legalisatieroute van toepassing is.
Is an International Extract Sufficient?
Alleen wanneer de buitenlandse ontvangende instantie dit accepteert. Een internationaal uittreksel is korter en meertalig en kan minder informatie bevatten dan een volledig afschrift.
Can Apostille Assist Request the Marriage Certificate for Me?
Dit hangt af van de aanvraagvoorwaarden van de gemeente Groningen, uw recht op de akte en de vereiste identificatie of machtiging. De route wordt beoordeeld voordat het werk begint.
Can the Marriage Certificate Be Sent Abroad?
Ja. Traceerbare internationale verzending kan in de afgesproken route worden opgenomen. De bestemming en kosten van derden worden vooraf bevestigd.
