Inschrijving / BRP
Last updated: 2026-07-22
Inschrijving in the BRP (Basisregistratie Personen) is municipal registration recording that you live at a specific address in the Netherlands.
It is illegal for a landlord to advertise or offer a rental where the tenant cannot register at that address. You must still register; a landlord's refusal is a red flag, not a valid reason to skip BRP registration.
