Municipality of Meierijstad: 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.

At the service desk

Do you want to report the departure of you and your family at the service desk? First make an appointment. 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.

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 Gemeente Meierijstad, Postbus 10.001, 5460 DA Veghel. Or email all the documents to info@meierijstad.nl

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.
