  • Child Recognition

    If you, as the future parents, are neither married nor in a registered partnership, as father or mother who did not give birth to the child, you can recognise the child. In doing so, you take on parentage of a child.

  • Almost 18. What do you have to organise?

    When you turn 18 you're allowed to do all kinds of things you weren't allowed to do before. But maybe you haven't realised that there are also all kinds of things that you're obliged to do. What changes are there when you turn 18?

  • Death declaration

    An insurance company or pension fund may require this document before issuing payment. If an organisation requests an extract from the death register, the document is always provided.

  • Registering a death

    If the person who died was someone close to you, it can be overwhelming. A funeral parlour or undertaker knows about all the things that have to be taken care of and will help you organise the funeral. They will often register the death for you, but you can also choose to do this yourself.

  • Burial, cremation, headstone

    When someone close to you dies, you have to decide whether you want to have them buried or cremated. Eindhoven has 1 crematorium, 4 municipal cemeteries and several church cemeteries.

  • Declaration of no sham marriage

    If you were married outside the Netherlands or have entered into a partnership and at least one of you is not an EU citizen and does not have an indefinite residence permit, you must both declare that the marriage/partnership has not been entered into in order to obtain right of residence in the Netherlands.

  • Certificate of no impediment

    If you wish to marry or enter into a registered partnership abroad, you may need a certificate of no impediment. The foreign authority in the country where you wish to marry or enter into a registered partnership can tell you which documents you will need. These might include a copy of your birth certificate and a statement of your marital status.
