Municipality of Venray: registering with the municipality

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

• A valid identity document for everyone who is to be registered (this cannot be a driving licence).
• A rental or purchase contract for your home or the consent of the main resident with whom you will be living.
• Proof of de-registration if you are moving from another part of the Koninkrijk der Nederlanden (Kingdom of the Netherlands): Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten, Bonaire, Saba or Sint Eustatius.

If you were born, married or divorced abroad, please also bring the following original documents:

• Your birth certificate.
• The birth certificates of your partner and/or children.
• Your marriage certificate or proof of civil partnership.
• Divorce papers.
• Adoption papers and/or a death certificate for your partner or child(ren).

In some cases, your certificate or document will need to be legalised and/or translated. You can check whether this is the case for your country on the government website.

You must inform us of your move to the Netherlands in person. Call +31 478 52 33 33 to make an appointment to do this.

Registration is free of charge. You must pay the costs of translating or legalising official documents that you may need to take with you.
