Change address details in the BRP
Are your address details incorrect in the municipality’s Personal Records Database (BRP)? You can make a request to have these details changed.
- You are a resident of The Hague.
- Your address details are incorrect in the BRP. This specifically means your address, house number or moving date.
You can only change your address if the municipality or another organisation have made a mistake. Not if you were too late with the registration.
- a copy of your valid form of identification (only when you make a request without logging in with DigiD)
- proof of your address or moving date:
- if your address or house number is incorrect: proof of your correct address or house number
- if your moving date is incorrect: proof that you reported your move to the municipality earlier
You can request the change online. You can do this with and without DigiD.
Are you going to move? Or did you move recently but have not registered your new address at the municipality? Then you can change your details on the page Report your move.
