As Hansa I would like to form the Netherlands, but at first I have to culture shift. I have already moved my capital.

The thing is, I don't get Dutch acknowledged as my dominant culture.

After extensive land reductions the only provinces I hold are:
Mecklenburg, Lübeck, Bremen
Friesland, Gelre, Utrecht, Holland, Zeeland
Azores, Cape Verde, Canaries, Madeira
And I have many, many vassals...

Any kind of help would be appreciated.

I assume you have colonized Azores, Cape Verde, Canaries and Madeira all by yourself. In this case they will have your state culture (Hannoverian), so you have 7 Hannoverian and only 5 Dutch provinces.

Release Holland as a vassal and sell them your colonies. They'll most likely use a provincial decision to flip the culture to Dutch. If they don't you can either load up as them and do it that way or simply sell the colonies to someone else. Once they flip the colonies to Dutch, annex them

Canaries, Azores and Madeira are in Europe so they cannot culture flips like colonial territories can. I would sell them to Olenburg or Bremen depending who is the vassal.

This. Europe, North Africa, middle east, and central Asia don't have such option unless you mod it in decisions/colonial_takeover.txt

Damn, now I'm tempted to do it just so I can flip cultures like CK2....
