Deregister at the Municipality of Amsterdam

There are a number of matters to be dealt with when you leave the Netherlands. One is that you have to deregister from the Municipal Personal Records Database (Gemeentelijke Basisadministratie, GBA). This means the municipality will remove your personal details from the files. The municipality will automatically inform other government authorities of your departure.

When to deregister

You can have yourself deregistered a month before leaving the Netherlands. You must, however, indicate the date of your departure.

If you register your departure by post and give no date of departure, then the date the municipality receives your amendment will be adopted as your date of departure. That is the date you hand in your notice of departure, , or the date the municipality receives your written notice of departure.

Where to deregister

Documents to take with when deregistering

To deregister you will need the following documents:

• a valid form of identity. This can be your passport, identity card or residence permit.
• If you authorise someone to register your departure for you, they will need to send or take the following documents with them:
• his or her valid form of identity
• an authorisation, signed by you
• a copy of your valid form of identity.

Your new foreign address

When moving outside the Netherlands, you will need to supply your new foreign address. If your new address is not yet known, then supply the temporary address where you will be staying (the hotel for example) until you move to your permanent address. If you intend to travel without a permanent address, indicate then the first country to which you will be travelling.

Costs to deregister from the municipal personal records database

Deregistration from the municipality is free.

It is not possible to do an inspection in the weekend or on public holidays. If you leave in a weekend or on a Public holiday the caretaker will check the room the next working day. If the caretaker finds the room is not clean or inventory items are broken or missing this will be deducted from the deposit.Do not forget to leave the keys!
