Registration at the municipality for Ukrainians
Are you a refugee from Ukraine? You have to register in the municipality where you are living (in a long-term shelter location or in a private home). In The Hague you will register during an appointment at the Segbroek district office at Fahrenheitstraat 190.
Appointment to collect proof of residency
Do you come under the EU Temporary Protection Directive and did you register with the municipality? Then you must visit the IND within 4 weeks for a proof of residency.
Go to IND.nlYou can usually register only once you have moved from the initial shelter location to the shelter location where you will stay for a longer time, because you will then have a residential address. If you are living with a private host family or you have your own living space and place to sleep, you can register immediately.
After you register, your information will be added to the Personal Records Database (BRP). And you will get your citizen service number (BSN). You need this number to arrange all of your government affairs. Make an appointment to register.
After you register you can apply for proof of residency in the Netherlands at the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND). Click on 1 of these links:
