Municipality of Arnhem: registering a civil partnership

• Valid proof of ID for both of you.
• A copy of the witnesses’ valid proof of ID (a minimum of two, a maximum of four).
• If you are under guardianship due to alcohol or drug abuse, you will need permission from the guardian. If you are under guardianship because of your physical or mental condition, the sub-district court judge must give permission. You must have arranged the permission you need before the appointment.

Registering an intended civil partnership

You register your registered partnership with the municipality where you want to conclude your partnership. Provide the details of yourself, your partner and your witnesses. This is possible up to four weeks before the registration date. You can make an online appointment for registration at the town hall.
