Municipality of Amsterdam: deregistering from the municipality in the event of a long stay outside the Netherlands

• Are you moving outside the Netherlands on your own? If so, you can report your departure online.
• Is your entire family moving outside the Netherlands? If so, you must report your departure to the municipality in writing or at a City Office.

Online

You can report your departure online on the day of your move. You need your DigiD to do this.

Submit your relocation abroad using DigiD (in Dutch)

In writing

You can only report that you are moving by post if all the members of your family are moving with you.

Write a signed letter stating your old and (if known) new address.

The letter must specify:

• the country in which you are going to live;
• the date of your departure;
• a clear signature (not initials).

Send this letter together with a copy of your identity document to
