Municipality of Woensdrecht: registering a divorce in the civil registry
Where you register your divorce depends on your situation.
If you got divorced in the Netherlands
Did you get married and divorced in the Netherlands? Then your lawyer will send the divorce decree to the civil registrar in the municipality where you got married. The registrar will then register your divorce.
Your lawyer must send the documents to the municipality.
Do you live in a municipality other than the one in which you got married? Then the registrar will inform your municipality of residence.
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.
