REGISTRATION ARNHEM
To register in Arnhem, you need to book an appointment with the municipality.
To make things as easy for you as possible, we have drawn-up a step-by-step plan.
SELECT THE LENGTH OF YOUR STAY
This is about the total duration of your stay in the country, it does not matter how long you stay at your Corporate Housing Factory address.
Are you coming to the Netherlands for less than 4 months? Then you can apply for a citizen service number (BSN) when you register as a non-resident of the Netherlands in the Register Niet Ingezetenen (RNI). You can find more information on the website of the Municipality of Arnhem.
If you are staying in the Netherlands longer than 4 months you have to make an appointment at the municipality of Arnhem. During this appointment you will receive your BSN through the municipal registration and/or residence permit from the IND and/or will provide biometrical information to the IND. Go to the next step.

Yes, everyone living in the Netherlands needs to register, including both foreigners and Dutch people. The only exception is if you will be living in the Netherlands for fewer than four months - in that case you still need to register, but as a short-stay resident.
There are two options to provide a proof of address to register besides having a rental address:
- A consent form (toestemmingsverklaring). This is essentially proof that the primary resident of the address has given you permission to live with them. If you stay at one of our properties, this is what we provide to you.
- A correspondence address (briefadres). For a maximum of three months, you can also register using a correspondence address. This is temporary and an administrative address only. It cannot be a PO box or a non-residential address.
More information on what is allowed can be found on the website of Arnhem.
Yes, you must deregister from the Personal Records Database if you are leaving the Netherlands. You can do this online, at a City Office or by post and the condition offer per option. Check out the City of Arnhem website for more information.
