RNI registration in the Netherlands

How the Non-residents Records Database route works for short stays or people living abroad.

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.
