BSN, registration, DigiD and residence documents
A national route that separates municipal registration and BSN, DigiD, address changes and IND residence documents.
Quick answer
What this covers
BSN, BRP registration, DigiD and residence documents are related but different. Municipalities handle local registration routes, DigiD is the government login service, and IND handles residence applications and documents.
Who this is for
Use this route when you need a BSN, need to register or change an address, need DigiD, or need the correct IND residence-document route.
Location
Municipal registration and appointments are local. The national explanation and official national services remain available for every selected city.
Step by step
What to do
Choose the exact task: BSN, municipality registration, DigiD, address change or an IND residence matter.
For registration, open the official municipality page for the address and check its current appointment and document list.
Use the official DigiD site for application, activation and recovery.
Use IND for residence-permit and residence-document procedures.
Do not send identity documents through an unofficial form or contact route.
Documents and evidence
- The required documents depend on the task and personal situation. Use the official municipality, DigiD or IND checklist for the exact application.
Costs
Fees depend on the procedure and can change. Use the current official page or formal decision.
Timing
Appointment availability and decision periods differ. The responsible municipality, DigiD or IND page is authoritative for current timing.
When something goes wrong
- If a municipality route is unclear, use its official contact page.
- For DigiD access problems, use DigiD support without sharing login credentials.
- For a residence case, use the IND route that matches the permit or document.
Common mistakes
- Treating DigiD as a BSN application.
- Using the wrong municipality for an address.
- Uploading identity documents to an unverified website.
