Registering as a Dutch voter abroad
If you haven’t received any voting documents at all, this may mean you are not properly registered as a Dutch voter abroad.
Non-residents Records Database (RNI)
You should also make sure that your correct address details are registered in the Non-residents Records Database (RNI). This will ensure that other government organisations know how to contact you.
Attention: The details associated with your registration as a Dutch voter abroad are not automatically transferred to the RNI.
