You'll need your rental contract, valid ID, and proof of previous address deregistration if moving from another Dutch municipality. The BRP registration is essential for accessing healthcare, opening Dutch bank accounts, and receiving official correspondence. Schedule appointments online through the gemeente website, as walk-ins often face long waiting times.
