Municipality of Hoorn: registering with the municipality
If you move to Hoorn from abroad, you must come by in person to pass on your new address. This can be done after making an appointment and must be done within 5 days of your arrival.
All family members who wish to be registered must come to the appointment with you. This includes babies, young children and elderly people.
Were you born abroad? Then bring your birth certificate. Did you get married abroad? Then bring the marriage certificate, a divorce certificate or a certificate as proof that the marriage has been dissolved by death. Have you changed your name or nationality in the past? Or are you adopted? Please take these documents with you.
Registration is free of charge. You must pay the costs of translating or legalising official documents that you may need to take with you.
The municipality will register you in the Basisregistratie Personen – BRP (Personal Records Database) during the actual appointment. You will receive a confirmation letter. The municipality will send your citizen service number (BSN) by post within 3 weeks.
