Getting married abroad
How nice that you are getting married abroad. It is important that you can prove that you are not married and do not have a registered partnership with someone else. You do this with a declaration of unmarried status or a declaration of capacity to marry. You can request these declarations from the municipality.
Declaration of unmarried status
A declaration of unmarried status is an extract from the Municipal Personal Records Database (BRP), stating your marital status.
Certificate of marital competence
A declaration of legal capacity to marry states that you are not currently married and that you and your partner are permitted to marry under Dutch law.
