Municipality of Culemborg: applying for a copy of a birth certificate
The registry office is a department of the municipality. The registry office creates and stores official records of important events. These documents are called deeds. Examples of deeds:
- birth certificate;
- marriage certificate;
- divorce certificate;
- death certificate.
You can request a copy or extract of a deed from the municipality where the deed was drawn up.
Copy or extract
A copy is a copy of the deed with a stamp and signature of the registrar of births, marriages and deaths. An extract only contains the personal data.
You can request an extract for the following persons:
- For yourself.
- For your child who lives with you. Even if he or she is older than 18 years.
- For someone else, if this person authorizes you to do so. This can be done in a letter in which he or she writes that you are given permission to act as an authorized representative.
Authorization letter
If someone else submits the application to the municipality for you, give them a letter containing:
- the reason why you need the copy or extract;
- the name of the authorized representative;

- the signature of the authorized representative.
For personal pick up:
- Your valid proof of identity (passport, driver's license, Dutch identity card or aliens document)
