Municipality of Drechterland: registering with the municipality

You must inform us of your move to the Netherlands in person. You must make an appointment to do this.

All family members who wish to be registered must come to the appointment with you. This includes babies, young children and elderly people.

When you go to your appointment, please bring the following documents:

  • A valid document of identity (passport or ID-card) of every person to be registered.
  • Bring your birth certificate if you're born in another country than the Netherlands.
  • With a foreign nationality bring your certificate from Immigration and Naturalisation (IND)
  • A proof of deregistration when you come from Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Saba, Sint Eustatius or Sint Maarten.
  • If applicable: a marriage certificate, deed of divorce or a certificate that the marriage disbanded by death.

Sometimes it's required that you legalise foreign documents in the country where you're from. This shows the authenticity of a document. Sometimes the documents need to be translated.
