Nominating someone in the Caribbean part of the Kingdom
Aruba, Curaçao and St Maarten
To nominate an inhabitant of Aruba, Curaçao or St Maarten for a royal decoration, please contact the Decorations Committee of the island in question. The Committee will draft a recommendation and send it to the island’s Council of Ministers. The Council of Ministers determines whether an official nomination will be submitted to the Governor, who in turn submits the nomination, together with their recommendation, to the Civil Honours Council. The decision on whether to submit the nomination to his Majesty the King is taken by the Minister of the Interior and Kingdom Relations.

Honours nominations for residents of Bonaire or Saba can be submitted to the Governor of the island. In St Eustatius, this is done via the Royal Decoration Committee. The Governor forwards the nomination and their recommendation to the Kingdom Representative for Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba, based in Bonaire. The Kingdom Representative then in turn submits the nomination to the Civil Honours Council, together with their recommendation and that of the Governor. On the basis of these recommendations, the Minister of the Interior and Kingdom Relations then decides whether a decoration should be awarded. If the decision is positive, the minister will submit the nomination to His Majesty the King.
