'''Civil registration''' records are government records of births, marriages, and deaths. Access to Netherlands Civil Registration records online is excellent. There is usually no longer any need to use microfilms from the Family History Library, or to visit archives. Nearly all records have survived, since two copies were made of each record and stored separately. <br> | |||
*'''Dates:''' Civil registration began 1 March 1811 while under French rule. Law allows birth records up to 1916, marriage records up to 1941 and death records up to 1966 to be released to the public as of 2017. Archives can be up to 10 years behind putting them online. | *'''Dates:''' Civil registration began 1 March 1811 while under French rule.
