I got married in the Netherlands. Will my marriage be recognised abroad?

In principle, a marriage concluded in the Netherlands between a man and a woman will be recognised in every country. Same-sex marriages and converted marriages are not recognised in every country.

Registered partnership converted into marriage

If you converted your registered partnership into a marriage in the Netherlands, this marriage will not be recognised in every country. This may cause problems, for example relating to inheritance. This can be an issue if you move abroad or are abroad for an extended period.
