Report a move

Report your move to the municipality where you will be living. Do this no later than 5 days after you have moved. If you want to report the move earlier, you can do so up to 4 weeks before the date of relocation.

If you report a change of address after moving, the date of moving is the date of change of address. This must be done within 5 days of moving.

  • Have you notified us of an upcoming move? If so, we will update your address information on the date you provide. This will then be the date of your change of address.
  • Will you notify us after you move? If so, the date of your move will be considered the date of your change of address. However, you must do this within 5 days of moving. If you report the change later, the date you notify us will be considered the official date of your change of address.
  • We will notify your former municipality of your move. You will be automatically deregistered from that municipality. You will not receive a notification of your deregistration.
  • If you move from abroad or are registered in the RNI (Registration of Non-Residents), you need to make an appointment for registration in the municipality coming from abroad.

Make sure you give all the information the municipality needs. Otherwise, the municipality will not update your address information.
