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

  • Before you leave the Netherlands, you must report your departure (emigration) to the municipality.
  • You emigrate if you are abroad for at least 8 months within 1 year.
  • These 8 months do not have to connect to each other.

You can report your departure from the Netherlands online if all residents of the address are emigrating at the same time.

If you live with several people at one address and not everyone comes with you, then everyone who does come with you must personally visit the municipality. This also applies to children under the age of 18.

Who can report an emigration?

  • anyone who is 16 years or older
  • parents, guardians or caregivers for children under 16 years of age
  • parents for their adult child or children living at home (only if parents and children living at home move abroad together)
  • cohabiting spouses or registered partners for each other (only if spouses and partners move abroad together)
  • adult children for resident parent(s) (only if adult resident children and parent(s) move abroad together)
  • the curator for a person who has been placed under guardianship.

It is not possible to declare a move abroad by an authorized representative.
