Hello Everyone,
My name is Adam a Ghanaian Citizen living in Spain and my Spanish registered partner is in Netherlands for 3 moths now.

I am planning on joining my registered partner in Netherlands, I need clarification on the following issues.

Could I register with the municipality on the same address with my partner before starting the registering with IND for verification against EU laws?

Can we rent only a room in someone鈥檚 house meaning sharing accommodation and we would go through this process?

Do I need my name on the rental contract with my partner to proof we will be leaving together?

Do I need to add my birth certificate to the documents?

Thanks

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

To answer your questions:

If you have a residence card for Spain, then you can travel to Holland and register at the address with your partner.聽 If not, then your partner will have to sponsor you; she can apply on-line using her DigiD.

The address has to be able to be used for registration purposes; check with the owner.

No, you'll need proof your partner and yourself are in a meaningful relationship (you say you're in a registered partnership, so will have some kind of documentation to prove that).

You will need documentation in order to Register; the following is relevant:

- Your valid passport or ID card (not a driving licence).
- Your residence permit (if applicable, either a sticker in your passport, a plastic ID card or letter from IND).
- Your rental contract.
- A certified copy of your birth certificate.
- Your foreign marriage certificate, certificate of registered partnership or divorce (if applicable).

Note that town halls only accept official documents in Dutch, English, French or German, so you may need to get an official translation for other languages. Some documents, such as your birth certificate, may also require proof of authenticity (i.e. apostille), which you will need to get before leaving your home country.

Hope this helps.
