  Sometimes your deed or document needs legalization and/or translation. You can view this per country of the website van de Rijksoverheid. Enter the country where your document was issued.

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.
