Extract from the Personal Records Database
You are requesting an extract from the Personal Records Database (Basisregistratie Personen or BRP) from the municipality where you are registered. An extract contains your name, date of birth, place of birth, and address. Other information may also be included. Therefore, please clearly indicate the purpose for which you need the extract. Make an appointment with the Civil Affairs department by calling (020) 496 21 21. You have to visit the municipal office in person.
There are various types of extracts, such as a Proof of Being Alive (in Dutch: Bewijs van in leven zijn or attestatie de vita). A housing association may require an extract, and it may also be requested during border controls if you are traveling with a minor child or children.
The cost for an extract from the Personal Records Database (in Dutch: Basisregistratie Personen or BRP) is €15.05 (rate for 2024).
If you visit the municipal office, you can pay for the extract in cash or with a debit card at the counter, and you will receive the extract immediately.
To apply for an extract, you will need:
- Your valid identification document
If you wish to apply for an extract on behalf of someone else, you should also bring:
- A written authorization
- A copy of the valid identification document of the person for whom you are making the request.
