Municipality of Nieuwkoop: Notifying the municipality when you move home

If you move, you must notify your new municipality of residence. Submit your new address no later than five days after the date of relocation. Are you moving to the municipality of Nieuwkoop from another municipality? Then your old municipality will automatically be notified. So you do not have to unsubscribe. Submit your new address within four weeks before the move or at the latest within five days after your move.

If you report your move to the town hall, you must bring a valid proof of identity.

Report your move online with DigiD. You do not have to come to the town hall for this.
