Moving abroad

You can report your departure from EN Netherlands online if all residents of the address are emigrating at the same time.

If you live with multiple people at the same address and not everyone is moving with you, everyone who is moving with you must visit the municipality in person. This also applies to children under the age of 18.

Who can report an emigration?

• everyone aged 16 or older
• parents, guardians, or caretakers for children under 16 years of age
• parents for their resident adult child or children (only if parents and resident children are moving abroad together)
• cohabiting spouses or registered partners for each other (only if spouses and partners are moving abroad together)
• adult children for resident parent(s) (only if adult resident children and parent(s) are moving abroad together)
• the legal guardian for a person under legal guardianship.

Declaring a move abroad by proxy is not possible.

You must report your departure to the municipality up to 5 days in advance. Please provide the following information:

• the names and dates of birth of family members emigrating with you
• your previous address
• your new address
• DE date of emigration

Please note

You will be deregistered on the day you report your move (not on your actual move-out date).

DE municipality will update your details immediately.
