Moving abroad

How does it work?

You must submit the notification within 5 days before your departure from the Netherlands. You can report your departure online. Or make an appointment to visit us. You must be registered in Tytsjerksteradiel for this.

The municipality may require you to appear in person and provide additional information about your departure.

If you move abroad, you must arrange many things before leaving the Netherlands. It is often difficult to do this later from another country. Check what you need to arrange in the Netherlands with the Dutch government. This will save you a lot of time and effort.

You must notify the municipality of your departure no more than 5 days in advance. Please provide the following information:

• the names and dates of birth of family members who are emigrating with you
• your old address
• your new address
• the date of emigration

Please note

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

You can report your emigration online if the emigration applies to all residents of the address. Otherwise, you must report the emigration in person at the municipality. You can make an appointment for this.

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

Who can report an emigration?

• Anyone who is 16 years or older
• Parents, guardians, or caretakers for children younger than 16 years old.
• To pass on to each other if you live at the same address: parents and their adult child or children, spouses or registered partners

Some individuals are authorized to report emigration on behalf of someone else:

• The head of a healthcare institution for a person who lives there.

Reporting a move abroad by an authorized representative is not possible.

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

Are you abroad?

You can often report your departure online from abroad. In some countries this is not possible due to security reasons of that country. If you are unable to report your departure online, please report your departure in writing using the emigration form. Complete this form and send it to gemeente@t-diel.nl.
