Show the answer
✓ Correct answer: A. Bij de gemeente
Explanation: Je schrijft je in bij de gemeente waar je gaat wonen. Dan komt je adres in de Basisregistratie Personen (BRP).
Translation: The municipality (gemeente)
You register with the municipality where you will live. Your address is then recorded in the Personal Records Database (BRP).

Why are the other answers wrong?
- B. The king: The king does not keep track of addresses.
- C. Your employer, that is enough: Your employer should know too, but that is not enough. The official registration is with the municipality.
- D. The supermarket: The supermarket has nothing to do with your registration.
💡 Tip: Register with your new municipality within 5 days of moving. You can often do this online with DigiD.
