Municipality of Purmerend: registering a foreign document

You must bring the following documents to the appointment:

• the original document;
• your passport and/or identity card (or a copy thereof);
• an official translation of the document by a sworn translator; this is only necessary if the document is not in Dutch, English, German or French.

Document entered in the municipality’s BRP

The municipality will then enter your document in the Basisregistratie Personen – BRP (Personal Records Database).

Having a document converted into a Dutch document

Do you wish to have your document converted into an official Dutch document? If so, you must first register your foreign document with the municipality in which you are registered. The municipality will enter the document in the BRP. You can then have the document converted into a Dutch document in the municipality of Den Haag.

To do this, make an appointment with the municipality of Den Haag.

The registration of a foreign document is free of charge.
