Municipality of Rotterdam: registering the ending of a civil partnership in the civil registry
Where you register your dissolution of a registered partner depends on your situation.
If you got your dissolution of a registered partner in the Netherlands
Did you get your registratration and dissolution of a registered partner in the Netherlands? Then your lawyer will send the decree of your dissolution of a registered partner to the civil registrar in the municipality where you got married. The registrar will then register your dissolution of a registered partner.
Do you live in a municipality other than the one in which you got married? Then the registrar will inform your municipality of residence.
If you got your dissolution of a registered partner outside of the Netherlands
Did you get your dissolution of a registered partner outside of the Netherlands and you live in the Netherlands? Then you must have your dissolution of a registered partner registered in the Basisregistratie Personen – BRP (Personal Records Database). You do this at the municipality in which you are registered.
