Municipality of Groningen: registering a death
A death is usually reported to the municipality by the funeral director. But as a surviving relative (family or acquaintance), you can also make the declaration yourself.
Please bring
- Valid passport, ID card or driver's license.
- Declaration of death.
Declaration by relatives
You can report the death yourself. You can do this in the municipality where your loved one passed away. Make an appointment with the municipality of Groningen.
As the next of kin, you will receive the extract from the 'death certificate' and the 'burial permit' immediately.
