Extract from the Municipal Personal Records (BRP)

The Personal Records Database (BRP) contains personal data of everyone living in the Netherlands. You can request an official extract of your own information. This document includes your name, date and place of birth, and current address. Organizations may ask for a BRP extract—for example, to prove your registration at the municipality when applying for housing.

Please keep the following in mind

• There are other extracts from the BRP, such as a Certificate of Dutch Nationality or a Certificate of Life.
• The BRP extract is often confused with an extract from the civil status register, where the municipality records important life events. You can only request a civil status extract from the municipality where the event took place. For more information, see the related product "Requesting an extract or certificate from the civil status register" at the bottom of this page.
• As a relative/family member, you cannot request a BRP extract for a deceased family member.
• A BRP extract is not needed for school registration. When registering, a school requires specific information about the student, such as the citizen service number (BSN), surname, initials, date of birth, and gender. These details are typically listed on the deregistration certificate from the previous school or on the student’s passport or ID card. You cannot use the health insurance card for this purpose.
• You also do not need a BRP extract for the subsidy scheme for the initial reception of a non-Dutch student who has not yet been in the Netherlands for a year as of April 1.
