Registration Non-Residents

Are you coming to the Netherlands for work and are you staying less than four months? Register as a ‘non-resident’ within five days of entering the Netherlands. You will need to make an appointment for this. We cannot help you without an appointment. The dates you see when you schedule your appointment online are the only dates available. We therefore ask you not to contact us by phone for an appointment at another time.

Why do I need to register?

Registering grants you a citizen service number (BSN, Burgerservicenummer). You need this number if you want to work in the Netherlands. Or have other dealings with the Dutch government.
