Municipality of Gouda: deregistering from the municipality in the event of a long stay outside the Netherlands
Please note: you can report that you are moving outside the Netherlands only if you live in the Netherlands and are registered with a municipality.
At the service desk
Departure abroad can only be reported at the service desk. First make an appointment by calling us at phone number +31 182 58 84 44. 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 spouse;
- your civil partner;
- your children;
- your parents.
These 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.
In writing
You can only report that you are moving by post if you already live abroad. Please contact us to learn how to do this.
Reporting a move is free of charge.
Processing takes 5 working days.
