Registering the ending of a civil partnership in the civil registry in the Netherlands
Have you had your civil partnership ended by a lawyer or notary? Then they will register the final order (Akte ontbinding van geregistreerd partnerschap) with the civil registry (burgerlijke stand). Have you had your civil partnership ended by a court? Then the court will have the final order registered with the civil registry.
Ending a civil partnership outside of the courts
Your lawyer or notary sends the final order to the civil registry for registration. This is done within 3 months.
Ending a civil partnership by a judge in court
If a judge ends your civil partnership, registration with the civil registry follows within 6 months.
The final order should be registered with the registry office of the municipality where you formed your civil partnership. You must do this within 3 months if the final order is issued by a lawyer or notary, 6 months if issued by a court. Only then is your civil partnership legally ended.
This is how it works for you
Here is some information from your municipality.
Melden beëindiging geregistreerd partnerschap
After the court has issued a divorce decree, you must finalise your divorce by having it recorded in the registry of births, deaths, marriages and registered partnerships (registers van de Burgerlijke Stand) in the municipality where you were married. You can do this yourself or have your lawyer do it.
