Death

A death should be registered in the city where the person has died. Most of the time the undertaker takes care of this, but you can also do this yourself.

Register a death

When someone dies, the municipality where the person died must be informed. This also applies to a stillborn child.

Laissez-passer

You may transport a deceased from abroad to the Netherlands or from the Netherlands to abroad. You need a death certificate for this purpose.
