Requesting DigiD

You can take care of many things online in the Netherlands. For example, viewing your personal data, or notifying us of a change of address. If you live in the Netherlands, you can request a DigiD, which enables you to do things online. You need to be registered with the municipality to do so. You can request a DigiD with a Citizen Service Number via the website digid.nl.

Registration

If you come from abroad and expect to stay in the Netherlands for at least 4 months, you must be registered in the municipality's Personal Records Database (BRP). You have to make an appointment for this in Tilburg municipality's city store. You can do this via the municipality's website or by calling. You can find more information about registering with the municipality of Tilburg on our website. 

You need to show your original birth certificate when you register. If you are married or divorced, you also need to show original proof of your marriage or previous marriage(s). Once you have received your documents from your country of origin, you must make an appointment with the civil registry desk to present your documents. You can call Tilburg municipality on 14 013 to make an appointment. You can also do it via the website 

Are you staying for less than 4 months, but still want to work in the Netherlands? Then you may do so if you are a national of a European Union country. You need a Citizen Service Number (BSN) to be able to work. If you are staying the Netherlands for less than 4 months, you can get this from the Non-Resident Records Database (RNI). You can find more information about this on the website www.netherlandsworldwide.nl.
