Request for rectification in the Personal Data Register (BRP)

The Personal Data Register (BRP) contains personal data about you, such as your name, address, place of residence, place and date of birth. You are responsible for ensuring that your data in the Personal Data Register (BRP) is correct. If you notice that this is not the case, please report it immediately. You can report this to your municipality. Would you like to know more about this?

After registering in the municipality, you will receive a letter at your registered address. This letter will contain all your details. You can also easily check your details using your DigiD. To do so, go to the https://mijn.overheid.nl/

You can submit the request in writing to any municipality in the Netherlands. In the request, you state your personal details and the details that need to be changed. Enclose a copy of a valid identity card or passport. Do not forget to sign the request! You can look up the postal address of your municipality on the Internet.

Please state in your enquiry:

  • Name, address and residence details
  • Reason for request
  • Sign your application.

Please attach:

  • a copy of a valid identity document
  • proof of data accuracy
  • any documents requested to be included. (If the original documents (such as birth certificate and marriage certificate) come from abroad, the document must not be older than six months and must be legalised. Documents that are not in Dutch or English must be translated into Dutch by a sworn translator. The documents must be originals. Please note: copies cannot be submitted. For more information on the legalisation of foreign documents, see this page Rijksoverheid: Legalisation of foreign documents).

Sometimes you can also have your data deleted. This can also be requested in writing.

The time it takes to assess and amend your application varies from municipality to municipality. Consider 4 to 6 weeks. In most cases, the correction is free of charge, but this can vary depending on the municipality and the application. If you want to know what the situation is in your municipality, check your municipality’s website.
