Applying for a certificate of marital status in Belgium
Are you a Dutch national, living in Belgium and do you need a certificate of marital status? The Dutch embassy in Brussels does not issue this certificate. Ask the municipality in Belgium where you live for an extract from the population register stating your marital status.
Warning: If you are registered in the Personal Records Database (BRP) in the Netherlands, apply for this document from the municipality where you are registered. You may need to have the certificate translated and legalised before you can use it outside the Netherlands.
Does your marital status on the extract say "Undetermined"? Then you probably did not show proof of your marital status when you (first) registered with the municipality. If you still provide proof of your marital status to the municipality, they can adjust your marital status.
