Which Proof of Residence Do You Need?
Foreign authorities may use terms such as proof of address, residence certificate, registration certificate or certificate of domicile. Check which details must appear before ordering.
Need Your Current Address?
A standard municipal extract may show your name, current address and registration details.
Need Extra Personal Details?
Some authorities also require nationality, civil status, family composition or historical address information.
Living Outside the Netherlands?
If you are no longer registered as a resident, an RNI extract or another registration document may be required.
Is Groningen the Right Municipality?
For current address evidence, the municipality where you are presently registered is normally decisive.
Registered in Groningen?
If your current registration is held by the Municipality of Groningen, you can normally request the relevant extract there.
Registered Somewhere Else?
If you are now registered elsewhere in the Netherlands, request current proof from that municipality.
No Longer a Dutch Resident?
An RNI extract or another historical registration document may be more suitable.
What Must Appear on the Document?
The receiving authority determines the required personal details, issue date, language and legalisation route.
Standard Address Details?
A standard extract may be sufficient when only your name, current address and registration are required.
More Detailed Information?
A specifically configured extract may be needed for civil status, nationality, family composition or address history.
It shows information from the population register. Birth, marriage, divorce and death certificates follow separate civil-status routes.
