Moving abroad

Will you be staying abroad for less than eight months? You can report the move, but this is not strictly required.

Your municipality will pass on the details about your move abroad to the bodies/agencies that are linked to the Personal Records Database (Basisregistratie Personen or BRP), such as the Tax and Customs Administration (Belastingdienst) and pension funds.

Conditions

If everyone living at the same address is moving abroad, you can report the move abroad in writing. The following persons can do this:

• You, personally, if you are 16 or older
• A parent or guardian for minors
• Cohabiting spouses/registered partners for each other
• Cohabiting parents and children of full age for each other

Will family members be staying at your current address in the Netherlands? If so, the people who are moving abroad must report this move in person to the municipality. This also applies to minors. It is not possible for an authorised person to report a move abroad.

What you need to do

You can deregister in person at the Documents Desk at the Town Hall of Amstelveen. You can also send the documents to the municipality by e-mail or post if there are no other occupants who will stay at the address after your deregistration.
