Municipality of West Betuwe: registering the ending of a civil partnership in the civil registry

• The decision of the court (order) must reach the municipality where your marriage or partnership was concluded within 6 months. Usually a lawyer will arrange this for you.
• The municipality registers the decision of the court in the civil registry. After that, your marriage or partnership is officially dissolved or terminated.
• The official date of divorce/dissolution is the date of registration in the registers of civil status. And not the date of the court ruling.
• The condition is that no further appeal is possible against the decision and that both parties accept the decision.

You can hand in or send the decision of the end of your registered partnership to Gemeente West Betuwe, Postbus 112, 4190 CC Geldermalsen.

Registration of the ending of a civil partnership is free of charge.

The municipality will process the data within 1 week.
