Where can I find my citizen service number?
Your citizen service number (BSN) can usually be found on your Dutch passport, identity card or driving licence. You can also look it up online on MijnOverheid. Dutch payslips, annual salary statements, health insurance cards and health insurance policies have your BSN on them too.
