Applying for a certificate of legal capacity to marry in Norway

Are you a Dutch national living in Norway and you need a certificate of legal capacity to marry? The Norwegian authorities do not accept certificates issued by embassies. 

If you wish to marry in Norway you do not need a certificate of legal capacity to marry but a certificate of martial status.

Warning: Are you a Dutch national living in the Netherlands (or have you lived in the Netherlands previously)? You can get a certificate of legal capacity to marry 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.
