RNI is not a substitute for BRP

RNI records people who do not live in the Netherlands, including some short-stay workers and students. Moving into a longer-term Dutch home generally means switching to municipal BRP registration.

Check the desk rules

The municipality you choose can affect appointment availability and documents. Use the current NetherlandsWorldwide list before travelling to a desk.
