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

The municipality records important events in your life in an official document, a certificate. Each certificate remains in the municipality where the event took place. You can order a copy (also known as an extract) of the following certificates:

  • Birth certificate
  • Marriage certificate
  • Certificate of registered partnership
  • Divorce certificate
  • Termination of registered partnership
  • Death certificate

The legal fact occurred in Valkenswaard.

If the legal fact occurred in another municipality, you must request the extract in that municipality. For example, if you were born in the municipality of Veldhoven, the birth certificate is held by the municipality of Veldhoven.
