Verhuizen is een opwindende stap in ons leven. Of het nu gaat om een nieuwe start in een andere gemeente of een verplaatsing binnen dezelfde stad, het doorgeven van je verhuizing aan de gemeente is een cruciale stap. Gelukkig heeft de digitale wereld het proces veel gemakkelijker gemaakt met behulp van DigiD. Zo kun je jouw verhuizing online doorgeven. In dit artikel ontdek je hoe je jouw verhuizing kunt doorgeven met DigiD, en waarom deze methode zo handig en efficiënt is.
Why report your move?
Before we discuss the use of DigiD, let's see why reporting your move is so important. Reporting your new address to the municipality has several advantages:
Basic registration of persons (BRP)
The Personal Records Database (BRP) is a central database in which all personal data of residents of the Netherlands are stored. Reporting your move ensures that your details remain up-to-date in the BRP.
Government agencies and services
Government agencies such as the Tax Authorities and the Social Insurance Bank use the data in the BRP. By reporting your move, you avoid problems with your tax return, benefits and other government services.
Municipal services
Your new municipality can keep you informed of local events, news and important information once your move has been registered.
Do it on time!
You can you verhuizing 4 weken vóór je verhuizing doorgeven of 5 dagen na uw verhuizing. Wanneer je het niet 4 weken voor de verhuisdatum of binnen 5 dagen na uw verhuizing doorgeeft riskeer je een boete van maximaal € 325. Geef je verhuizing dus op tijd door.
