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

The report of moving abroad can be submitted by the following persons:

• 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

It is not possible for an authorised representative to report a move abroad.

How to deregister when moving abroad

You can use an online form to deregister with the municipality. You will find the link to the form under ‘Deregister online’ below. You can use the form with or without DigiD.

Are you a sole parent who is moving with children who are under age? Then you will also need to upload:

• Written consent with signature by all legal guardians
• A copy of the ID(s) of all legal guardians

Deregister online

You can deregister online using DigiD:
