Alternatively, you can apply for your birth certificate by post:

  • Send a letter to the Burgerzaken department.

  • Sign the letter. Attach a copy of your valid identity document.

Applying in the Netherlands

Applying from outside the Netherlands

The municipality will send the birth certificate to your address outside the Netherlands within a few weeks. The time taken by the postal service varies from country to country.

Objection

If you do not agree with this decision, you can submit a notice of objection. You need to do this within six weeks from the date on which the decision was sent.

You must send your notice of objection to:

Civil registrar

Postbus 99

In the notice of objection you need to mention:

-       Your name and address;

-       With which decision you disagree;

-       The reasons on which you disagree with the decision.

The notice of objection must bear you signature.

Submitting a notice of objection does not suspend the decision. This means the decision, against which you lodge a complaint, will have effect during the procedure of objection.

Urgent?

If you think the decision needs to be changed quickly to prevent irreversible consequences you can apply for provisional relief with the administrative court. This is an emergency procedure in which the judge can take measures to prevent irreversible consequences. To apply for provisional relief you need to pay a court fee. If you wish to apply for provisional relief you also need to send a letter to the preliminary relief judge of the Court ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Postbus 90125, 5200 MA ’s-Hertogenbosch.
