Contents of Dutch marriage licenses
A typical Dutch marriage certificate contains your and your spouse’s (husband of wife) first, middle, and last name, maiden name of woman, your and your spouse’s father’s and mother’s name, name of issuing agency, place of registration, name and title of signing officer, and addresses of four witnesses.
Many Dutch marriage licenses have appendices (huwelijksbijlagen).
Who issues marriage certificates in Dutch language?
Church weddings are no longer legally valid in the Netherlands. In many cases, civil registration office or local administration (municipality) is authorized to issue birth certificates, marriage certificates, and similar civil registration documents.
Civil registry offices (Dienst van de burgerlijke stand) at city halls issue international version of marriage certificates upon request.
Marriage certificates, their appendices, and related documents in provincial and local archives become public after 75 years.
