Municipality of Leiden: registering with the municipality

You need to report your move from abroad to the municipality in person. Make an appointment on the website of Leiden municipality.

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

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.
