Prepare your municipality step in Amsterdam

This checklist does not copy a document list: the official municipality page remains authoritative.

  1. 1

    Open the Amsterdam Civil Affairs route immediately before you act.

  2. 2

    Use the municipality's current document and appointment instructions, not a copied checklist.

  3. 3

    Keep your BRP address details correct and report a change through the official route.

Then: three national steps

Always recheck the official page before providing documents or booking an appointment.

  1. 2

    Check your BSN and BRP

    BRP registration normally creates a BSN. The applicable route depends on your stay and circumstances.

    Find BSN and BRP guidance
  2. 3

    Apply for DigiD

    The standard DigiD application lists a BSN, municipal registration address and mobile phone as requirements.

    Find DigiD guidance
  3. 4

    Arrange health insurance when required

    People who live or work in the Netherlands generally need Dutch basic health insurance. Check the official exceptions.
