If neither you nor your partner live in the Netherlands, you must give notice of your marriage in the municipality of Den Haag (The Hague). You can find more information on how to register a marriage for Dutch citizens living outside the Netherlands at the netherlandsworldwide.nl website.
When you register your marriage, you make a number of choices, which you communicate to the municipality. These choices relate to the ceremony and the venue. The costs depend on your wishes and the possibilities of the municipality.
Ceremony
The ceremony is the official part of your marriage. You can choose from:
- no ceremony
- simple ceremony
- elaborate ceremony
If you opt for an elaborate ceremony, you determine who leads the ceremony. You have the following choices:
- A wedding registrar from the municipality. The wedding registrar will contact you a few weeks before the wedding date to introduce themselves and find out more about you and your future spouse. If you have a preference for a wedding registrar, inform the municipality of this.
- A family member or acquaintance. If you would like a family member or an acquaintance to be your own wedding registrar, contact the municipality.
Wedding venue
You can get married in various places. You can choose from:
- a wedding venue of the municipality;
- a wedding venue of your own choice. Notify the municipality of your venue. To do so, call +31 (0) 492 326800 or use the contact form. You may have to pay for a wedding venue of your own choice.
You pay a fee for this service. Marriages on Mondays at 8.30 or 8.45 in the morning are free of charge.
For more information, contact the municipality.
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
5427 ZH Boekel
In the notice of objection you need to mention:
- The date on which you write your notice;
- 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.
