Municipality of Maastricht: registering a foreign document

Please note: you can register a foreign document only if you live in the Netherlands and are registered with a municipality.

Do you want to register a document issued outside the Netherlands with your municipality? Please book an appointment with the municipality in order to do so.

  • The event must be legally valid in the country where it took place. This means the document has been prepared in accordance with local regulations and by a competent authority.
  • If the source document is false or forged, it will not be returned to you. We will then report the fraud or forgery to the police. The Public Prosecutor will then confiscate the source document.

Registering a foreign document is free of charge.

How long registration takes varies from case to case. It can take 4 to 12 weeks. If more research is needed, it may take longer.
