Death of a family member

Did a close relative of yours die while you were required to integrate? And are you unable to integrate in time because of this? Then you may get 3 extra months to integrate.

Conditions

• A close relative of yours died during your integration period. Close relatives are:
  • your partner
  • your daughter or daughter-in-law
  • your son or son-in-law
  • your mother or mother-in-law
  • your father or father-in-law.
• You have a Dutch death certificate. Or a foreign death certificate, translated into Dutch by a sworn translator.
• Your integration period started at least 2.5 years ago.

Did you already get extra time to integrate? You can’t ask for extra time twice for the same period.

2. Send the form with the death certificate to DUO. If it is a foreign death certificate, send the translation too.
