Municipality of Winterswijk: deregistering from the municipality in the event of a long stay outside the Netherlands

• Are you moving outside the Netherlands on your own? If so, you can report your departure online.
• Is your entire family moving outside the Netherlands? If so, you must report your departure to the municipality in writing or at its service desk.

Online

You can report your departure online on the day of your move. You need your DigiD to do this.

At the service desk

Do you want to report the departure of you and your family at the service desk? First make an appointment. Bring a valid form of identification to your appointment.

You must specify your new address at the appointment, if already known. You must always specify the country in which you will be living.

You can report the departure of the following people at the same time as you report your own:

• your husband or wife;
• your civil partner;
• your children;
• your parents.

Those persons must be registered with you at the same address.

Do you have a samenlevingscontract (cohabitation agreement)? If so, you and your partner must report the departure outside the Netherlands separately.

Reporting a move is free of charge.

• Reporting online: processed immediately by the municipality.
