On 6 January 1811 the French Imperial (Napoleon) decree served notice that by '''1 March 1811''' all births, marriages and deaths had to be recorded by the civil authorities of each municipality. The civil officers were made responsible for keeping vital records. Civil registration was accomplished by requiring the people to report all births, marriages, and deaths to a civil registration office [Burgerlijke Stand], located in the municipality [gemeente]. After Napoleon's defeat, the Dutch government continued the civil registration system. | On 6 January 1811 the French Imperial (Napoleon) decree served notice that by '''1 March 1811''' all births, marriages and deaths had to be recorded by the civil authorities of each municipality.

In Limburg and parts of Zeeland, civil registration began as early as 1795, because they had already been conquered by France. They cover the entire population and have one year and 10 year indexes. Civil registration records are the most important source for genealogical research in the Netherlands and are easily accessible. | In Limburg and parts of Zeeland, civil registration began as early as 1795, because they had already been conquered by France.
