Moving from abroad
Are you moving to Nijmegen from abroad and intend to stay for at least four months in the next six months? Then you have three options:
You are living in the Netherlands for the first time (or you left the Netherlands before 1 October 1994 and are now returning to the Netherlands). Remember to report that you have settled in the Netherlands within 5 days of your arrival. You will be entered in the basic register and given a BSN title.
You left the Netherlands after 1 October 1994 and are now returning to Nijmegen. Make sure that the municipality has registered you with the BRP so that you can apply for a driving licence and not lose any benefits.
You left the Netherlands after 1 October 1994, but are now coming to live in Nijmegen because you became a parent.
If you will be staying in the country for less than 4 months, you must make an appointment to be entered in the non-resident register.
Registration with the municipality
The rules for moving within or to Nijmegen are the same as in the rest of the Netherlands. You need to make an appointment at the town hall. You must bring proof of identity to this appointment so as not to cause any problems. You can register your move if you are over 16 years old. This is also possible for your parents and of course your children, provided you live at the same address.
Moving costs
You can keep the costs of moving to Nijmegen low by comparing removal companies. The costs of course depend on the company and the type of move. However, there are many factors to consider.
