Adjusting incorrect personal data

I want to change my personal data

The municipality keeps data about its residents in the Basic Registration of PersonsBRP). If your personal information is not properly registered, you can ask the municipality to amend it. You can check your data on MijnOverheid.

The BRP contains information about you in addition to your first names, last name, gender and citizen service number (BSN):

  • parents
  • nationality
  • marriage or registered partnership
  • death
  • registration in the BRP
  • residence (address)
  • children
  • residence permit (if you are from another country)
  • relationship of authority and receivership
  • travel document (passport and/or identity card)
  • suffrage

What do I need?

  • your valid ID
  • a document containing your incorrect data
  • An official document containing the correct information, such as a marriage certificate

What does it cost?

There is no charge for updating incorrect personal data.

How long does it take?

  • Within 4 weeks, the municipality adjusts the incorrect data.
  • The municipality will send you a letter when your information has been updated.
  • You will also receive a letter about this if the municipality cannot or should not update your information.

If you disagree with the decision on your request, you can file an objection with the municipality.
