Applying for a certificate of legal capacity to marry in the United Kingdom
Are you a Dutch national living in the United Kingdom (UK) and you need a certificate of legal capacity to marry (also called declaration of no impediment)? Contact the council in the UK where you are getting married for information on the documents you need. In most cases, a declaration of your marital status is sufficient.
Attention: Are you a Dutch national and do you live in the Netherlands (or have lived in the Netherlands previously)? You will need to apply for 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.
You can apply for the certificate of your marital status online or by phone from the General Register Office in the UK.
Find out how to do so on the page Applying for a certificate of marital status in the UK.
