akten van de burgerlijke stand
Voor de <anchor>akten van de burgerlijke stand</anchor> is de wet op de bescherming van de persoonlijke levenssfeer van toepassing. Gegevens over de burgerlijke stand worden openbaar na 50 jaar voor overlijdensakten, na 75 jaar voor huwelijksakten en na 100 jaar voor geboorteakten. De digitalisering van de registers van de burgerlijke stand van 1910 tot 1950 ging in 2022 van start in de Rijksarchieven van Bergen, Beveren en Leuven. Deze gegevens zijn momenteel dus nog niet online beschikbaar. Lees meer hierover in dit nieuwsartikel.
