Applying for a certificate of legal capacity to marry in Slovakia

Are you a Dutch national living in Slovakia and you need a certificate of legal capacity to marry? If you have never lived in the Netherlands, you can request this certificate at the Dutch embassy in Prague, Czech Republic.

Warning: If you are a Dutch national and live in the Netherlands (or have lived in the Netherlands previously), the step-by-step plan on this page does not apply to you. You can get a certificate of legal capacity to marry (verklaring van huwelijksbevoegdheid) from the Dutch municipality where you live or the last municipality you lived in before you left the Netherlands. Go to the website of the relevant municipality for more information.
