Municipality of Aalsmeer: registering a death

For registering a death you need the following:

• Citizen service number (Burgerservicenummer; BSN) of the deceased.
• Declaration of natural death from the attending physician. If a death certificate has been issued by the coroner of the GGD, then the GGD will send this to the municipality itself. You do not need a B-envelope (see next point).
• B-envelope. This contains a form which the physician has filled in for the CBS (Central Bureau of Statistics Netherlands) that states the cause of death. Submit the B-envelope as soon as possible at the municipality town hall. Make an appointment in advance for this by calling +31 297 38 75 75.
• Would you like to receive the documents by email or by post? You can communicate this by sending an email to bs@aalsmeer.nl.
• Alternatively, send the B-envelope as soon as possible by post to: Burgerzaken 
   t.a.v. Burgerlijke Stand
