Municipality of Hengelo: notifying the municipality when you move home

Changing adress in the Netherlands

You must report a change of address to the municipality if you relocate. If you will be settling in Hengelo, you must indicate your change of address at the municipality at Hengelo. Should you relocate to another municipality, you will have to register there. In that case, de-registering with your former municipality of residence will be automatic.

Relocating abroad

If you will be relocating abroad, you must report this to the municipality. You may do this as early as five days prior to your departure. But you may not report your relocation earlier than this.  

Settling from abroad

If you are relocating to live in the Netherlands, you will need to register with the relevant municipality. You must do this person at the counter of the Publieksplein within five days of your arrival. This will entail a first-time registration in the Netherlands if you have never lived here or if you emigrated prior to 1 October 1994. If you also wish to register your family members to live in the Netherlands, they must accompany you to the Publieksplein.
