Municipality of West Betuwe: applying to get married

If you want to get married or want to register your partnership in West Betuwe, you can report this online via the button 'Report Marriage or Registered Partnership' to us.
We are happy to help you make it an unforgettable day.

Are you getting married in another municipality?
Then you arrange this in the municipality where you are getting married.

Are you getting married at a location category A or B?
Please contact the location holder first to confirm the appointment there. The location itself can also charge costs. Where it says marriage or getting married, we also mean partnership registration.

To report you need: DigiD of both partners, a copy of the ID of both partners and a copy of the ID of the witnesses.

If you want to get married at a one-off free wedding location, category D.
Start your application well in advance. The entire process from the application to the decision takes at least 12 weeks. Do you want your own babs (extraordinary civil registrar)? It is currently very busy at the court with the applications to be sworn in as a wedding official. Therefore, make sure that you submit the documents in time to avoid disappointment! If the babs has not yet been sworn in, we will first invite him or her for an interview.

Before submitting the online report, carefully read the information under 'Your wishes'. NB! When you report your marriage or registered partnership, you immediately pay the costs via iDeal. At the moment we cannot yet schedule weddings in the new town hall. As soon as it is clear when this is possible, it will be visible in the online notification of your marriage.

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:

marriage free of charge;
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 0345 - 72 88 00 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. For more information, contact the municipality.
