Municipality of Boekel: 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 its service desk.

Online

You can report your departure online on the day of your move. You need your DigiD to do this. https://www.boekel.nl/inwoners-en-ondernemers/verhuizing-en-migratie/verhuizen-naar-het-buitenland 

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  Postbus 99, 
5427 ZH Boekel. Or email all the documents to info@boekel.nl

At the service desk

Do you want to report the departure of you and your family at the service desk? First make an appointment via https://www.boekel.nl/afspraak/. Bring a valid form of identification to your appointment.

You must specify your new address at the appointment, if already known. You must always specify the country in which you will be living.

You can report the departure of the following people at the same time as you report your own:

• your husband or wife;
• your civil partner;
• your children;
• your parents.

Those persons must be registered with you at the same address.

Do you have a samenlevingscontract (cohabitation agreement)? If so, you and your partner must report the departure outside the Netherlands separately.

Reporting a move is free of charge.

• Reporting by email or post: 5 working days.
• Reporting at the service desk: processed immediately by the municipality.

Urgent?

If you think the decision needs to be changed quickly to prevent irreversible consequences you can apply for provisional relief with the administrative court. This is an emergency procedure in which the judge can take measures to prevent irreversible consequences. To apply for provisional relief you need to pay a court fee. If you wish to apply for provisional relief you also need to send a letter to the preliminary relief judge of the Court ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Postbus 90125, 5200 MA ’s-Hertogenbosch.
