Municipal offices for registered partnership certificates in the Netherlands

The place of registration counts, wherever you live now

Most municipalities let you order the certificate online with DigiD or at a counter, and some also take a written request or an authorised person. Several always send the document by post instead of handing it over on the day. The options on offer, and what you need to show, are set by each office.

  • 's-Hertogenbosch

    Stadskantoor ’s-Hertogenbosch

    Wolvenhoek 1, 5211 HH 's-Hertogenbosch

    Apply online with DigiD or book a visit, and if you live abroad, authorise someone or post a signed letter.

    For an overseas postal request include the event date and place, people’s names, purpose, foreign delivery address, date, signature and a copy of your valid ID showing your signature. Send it to Publieke Dienstverlening, Postbus 12345, 5200 GZ ’s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands. Confirm the required partnership copy, extract or translation with the recipient.

  • Alkmaar

    Stadskantoor Alkmaar — Mallegatsplein

    Mallegatsplein 10, 1815 AG Alkmaar

    Order it online with DigiD if the partnership was recorded in Alkmaar, even if you live elsewhere now.

    Prepare names, partnership date/place, known record reference, format and delivery address. A representative brings the municipal authority form, the person’s ID copy and their own ID. Confirm language, translation or authentication requirements with the recipient; do not substitute an address extract or cohabitation contract for this certificate.

  • Almelo

    Stadhuis Almelo

    Haven Zuidzijde 30, 7607 EW Almelo

    Apply online or book a counter appointment, and expect the certificate by post within a few days.

    Prepare names, partnership date/place, known record details and delivery address. A representative needs written authority no older than 3 months, the principal’s ID copy and their own identification. Confirm translation or legalisation requirements with the recipient; an international extract is not a guarantee of acceptance in every country.

  • Almere

    Stadhuis Almere — Burgerzaken

    Stadhuisplein 1, 1315 HR Almere

    Order the copy online and wait for it by post, and contact the city first if you need help in person.

    Prepare names, partnership date/place, known record reference, requested copy format and delivery address. Ask which identity, entitlement or representative evidence is required for your case. Confirm the receiving organisation’s language and authentication requirements. Opening the introduction is not a submitted or paid application.

  • Alphen aan den Rijn

    Gemeentehuis Alphen aan den Rijn

    Stadhuisplein 1, 2405 SH Alphen aan den Rijn

    Order online with DigiD for delivery by post, or make a town hall appointment if you have no DigiD or act for another person.

    Prepare names, partnership date/place, known record reference and delivery address. Bring identification; a representative also needs signed authority, the represented person’s ID copy and their own ID. For an EU translation-model request, contact 14 0172 and confirm requirements before paying. This is different from a BRP (Dutch population register) address extract.

  • Amersfoort

    Stadhuis Amersfoort — Burgerzaken

    Stadhuisplein 1, 3811 LM Amersfoort

    Apply online with DigiD, or send a written request by post or email if you do not have DigiD.

    Include names, partnership date/place, known record reference, address, purpose and an ID copy. Representatives need the municipal authorisation. Confirm the document before paying: incorrect or no-longer-needed orders are not refunded. Lawyers/notaries have a separate professional route; do not use it as the ordinary personal application.

  • Amstelveen

    Raadhuis Amstelveen

    Laan Nieuwer-Amstel 1, 1182 JR Amstelveen

    Order online with DigiD, or phone first to arrange a town hall visit if you need it urgently.

    Prepare names, partnership date/place, known record reference and identity/entitlement evidence. Confirm whether a copy or an available translation form meets the recipient’s requirements; do not infer an international partnership version from a generic multilingual option. Contact the municipality promptly if delivery is needed at a different address.

  • Amsterdam

    Stadsloket Centrum

    Amstel 1, 1011 PN Amsterdam

    You can drop in without booking or apply online, but the copy is always posted rather than handed over on the day.

Amsterdam offers an international version in specified languages; check the receiving authority’s requirements. Requesting a record does not register a new partnership.
