Municipality of Hilversum: registering a divorce in the civil registry

If you are divorced abroad, you must report this yourself. Make an appointment at the municipality to do this. If you are divorced in the Netherlands, this must be passed on to the municipality within 6 months of the court ruling. This must be done in the municipality where you were married. Usually your lawyer will arrange this.

See the possible costs on Hilversum.nl.

Once the municipality has received the documents, it will register the divorce as soon as possible. The divorce becomes official as soon as the municipality registers it in the civil registry.
