Reporting a new residential address abroad

Report your new address abroad to your Dutch municipality. This is important so that authorities can find you. For example, if you still have to pay tax in the Netherlands or if you receive benefits. You may be fined if you do not do this. Or your benefits may be stopped. 
Have you already moved or has your address changed? Then you can report your change of address online.
Don't know your new address yet? You can also receive your mail digitally. You will then receive your mail in the Message Box of MijnOverheid. Turn on your message box so you don't miss any mail.
