You can do this at the municipality or the expat centre. This is free of charge. After your registration, you will receive a proof of registration. Please upload this.
Please note: the proof of registration may not be more than 6 months old.
An extract from the Non-residents Records Database (in Dutch: Registratie Niet-ingezetenen or RNI) will not be accepted. Go to the website of the Dutch Government (in Dutch: Rijksoverheid) for more information about registering in the BRP.
It may take some time before you receive your proof of registration in the BRP. Therefore, you may also provide the following documents:
Has your residence permit been approved? Then you will receive this letter from the IND.
Are you going to study in the Netherlands? You can upload your proof of enrolment as a proof of residence. Make sure the proof contains a stamp and signature
