Municipality of Brummen: applying to get married

You register your marriage with the municipality, providing all the details about yourself, your partner and your witnesses. This can be done up to 2 weeks before the wedding date. Please contact the municipality well in advance to determine the date of your ceremony. You will then hear how to make the report.

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.

  • A valid proof of identity for you and your partner.
  • A copy of your witnesses' ID.

If one of you comes from abroad, the municipality will need additional information. You can call the municipality about this on (0031) 575-568 233.

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:

  • without elaborate ceremony (free of charge): there are 2 options per week, on Monday morning;
  • with elaborate ceremony: this is possible on all days of the week.

If you choose an elaborate ceremony, you can choose who leads the ceremony. You can choose from:

  • wedding official of the municipality of Brummen;
  • another wedding official to be appointed once (this official must already be employed as a wedding official in another municipality in the Netherlands).

Do you opt for a wedding official from the municipality of Brummen? Then the wedding official will contact you a few weeks before the planned date to get acquainted. Do you choose another wedding official? Then you must submit a request for this. To do this, first contact the municipality.

Wedding venue

You can get married in various places in the municipality of Brummen. 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 (0031) 575 568 233 or  contact us.

You pay costs for applying for a marriage. For more information, contact the municipality.
