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;

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.

Contact your new municipality for more information.
