Municipality of Noordoostpolder: applying to get married

Do you want to get married or enter into a registered partnership? You no longer need to declare your intent to marry. However, you must notify the municipality where you want to enter into the marriage or partnership. You can do this online. We will then contact you. In this information, we talk about marriage. The same conditions apply to a registered partnership.

Do you want a cohabitation agreement? You arrange this through a notary.

Reporting Your Marriage Online

Getting married or entering into a registered partnership is a special event in your life. You can completely fill in this special day as you wish. For the official part, you have to deal with the municipality. You report your marriage at least 6 weeks and at most 1 year before your wedding day.

To make a notification, you need the following:

• If you choose a marriage with a speech, you must first contact the marriage officiant of your choice before you report your marriage online. You must ask if the marriage officiant is available on your wedding day. Then you can make the notification.
• DigiD login details of you and your partner.
• Valid identity documents of you and your partner.
• Clear copies of the valid identity documents of your witnesses. You indicate who your witnesses are when you make your notification. Together you have at least 2 and at most 4 witnesses. They are older than 18 years and have a valid identity document.
• The desired date, time, and place of the ceremony.
• For a self-chosen location, you enter into an agreement with the location owner and the municipality. For this, you use the marriage location agreement (147.41 kB). This is not necessary when marrying in the town hall.

Marriage Officiants

If you opt for a ceremony with a speech, you can choose a marriage officiant yourself. You can choose a marriage officiant from the Noordoostpolder municipality or a marriage officiant from another municipality.

Before you report your marriage online, first contact the marriage officiant of your choice. You must ask yourself if the marriage officiant is available on your wedding day. Then you can make the notification.
