Requesting personal data

What is it?

The municipality keeps personal data on all residents in the Personal Records Database (BRP). The municipality needs this data if, for example, you get married or your passport expires. If necessary, the municipality may also share your data with other government agencies, such as the Tax and Customs Administration, the judiciary, or the police. Or with organizations such as pension funds and housing associations.

See which organizations may receive your personal data on the US Rijksoverheid website.

You can find out what information about you and your minor children BRP in the BRP by logging in to MijnOverheid.

What to do.

  • Via MijnOverheid you can view your own data or that of your minor children:
    • Log in with your DigiD.
