Notifying the municipality when you move home
Are you moving home within the Netherlands? If so, notify the new municipality where you are going to live of your move. The new municipality will register you at your new address. You do not need to deregister from your old municipality.
The move can be notified by:
- anyone aged 16 or older;
- cohabiting spouses / civil partners on behalf of each other;
- the parent, guardian or caregiver on behalf of minor children;
- parents on behalf of adult children living with them;
- adult children on behalf of parents living with them;
- the conservator on behalf of a person placed under a conservatorship;
- an authorised representative.
You must notify the new municipality where you are going to live that you are moving home. You must inform it of your new address no later than 4 weeks before the moving date, or within 5 days after the moving date.
This is how it works for you
Here is some information from your municipality.
Notifying the municipality when you move home
You can only report a change of address if you live in the Netherlands and are registered with a municipality.
If you are late with reporting, this will have consequences for, for example, housing benefit, student grants or your parking permit.
Reporting a change of address
Online, with DigiD
Report your change of address online. You need a DigiD for this.
In writing
You can also report your change of address in writing. You can print the change of address form (pdf, 93 kB), fill it in and send it to the following address, with a copy of your proof of ID: Gemeente Arnhem, afdeling Burgerzaken, Postbus 9029, 6800 EL Arnhem.
At the counter
You can also make an appointment to report your change of address at the counter. Please make an appointment. Select 'Relocating within the municipality' or 'Moving to the municipality'.
It is free to notify a move.
You will receive confirmation of your change of address within the municipality within five working days of the relocation date specified by you. If you move to Arnhem from another municipality, this can take up to 10 working days.
