Converting registered partnership to marriage
If you have a registered partnership, you can convert it into a marriage.
The registrar makes a new deed. This stops your registered partnership and starts your marriage. You are officially married after the conversion. Not all countries recognize the conversion certificate as a marriage certificate. Please check with the government of the country. Apply for the conversion online.
Approach
This is how you request conversion of the registered partnership into a marriage:
- Apply for conversion with the online form.
- Choose a ceremony with date or make an appointment at the front desk.
- You bring:
- your valid ID
- the copy of the deed of registered partnership
- A birth certificate, if name change has occurred
You need to bring the copy of these deeds only if it did not take place in Heerlen.
