Municipality of Aalsmeer: applying for a copy of a birth certificate

• You request a copy from the municipality where the event took place. If the event took place in another municipality, then you must request the certificate from there. You will not receive a refund if the municipality cannot find any information or if the information may not be provided. This is because the municipality incurs costs for looking up the information. 
• The certificate does not contain any address information. If you need proof of where you are registered, you must request an extract from the Personal Records Database (Basisregistratie Personen; BRP).

Applying online

Were you born in the Netherlands? Do you live in the Netherlands and have a DigiD? If so, you can apply for your birth certificate online. You can also use your DigiD to apply for your birth certificate from outside the Netherlands.
