Applying for a certificate of marital status in Canada

Are you a Dutch national, living in Canada and do you need a certificate of marital status (search of marriage record)? The Dutch embassy in Ottawa or the consulate-general in Vancouver and in Toronto do not issue this certificate. In Canada you can get a certificate from a Provincial Vital Office.

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.
