RNI - Registering for a job or short stay

Are you staying in the Netherlands for less than 4 months?

Do you live abroad and do you need a citizen service number (BSN) for matters you need to arrange with the Dutch government?

In that case you can register as a non-resident. Please make an appointment for this, by sending an e-mail. You will receive a BSN. Also your data will be included in the Non-Residents Registration (RNI in Dutch).

Attention please: You can’t call RNI to make an appointment.

If you are staying in the Netherlands for more than 4 months, you must register in the Key Registration of Persons (BRP in Dutch).
