student registration

Make an appointment for registration as a student

Student registrations at The Hague International Centre will conclude on Wednesday, October 22.  

Starting Thursday, October 23, your registration as a student must be completed through the Segbroek District Office. An appointment can then be scheduled here. Please ensure you choose the appointment type that matches your situation, either under ‘Moving from abroad’ or ‘Registration when coming from abroad (no BSN)’, the 'International Students' option excluded.

 

Welcome to The Hague! 
To officially live and study here, you need to register with the municipality and get your BSN (Citizen Service Number). It’s an essential step—without it, you can’t open a bank account, get health insurance, or work a student job!
 

What to bring to your appointment

  • Valid identification (passport or, if you have EU nationality, your national identity card),
  • Hard copy (printed) proof of occupancy:
    • Rental / tenancy agreement (must be valid at time of appointment)
    • Home purchase deed
    • Signed statement by the main occupant of the house, and please bring a hard copy of the ID of the main occupant of the house and a hard copy of the rental/tenancy agreement or purchase deed of the house,
  • Residence permit or letter of approval from the IND (if applicable).

It is very important to bring all of the required documents to your registration appointment. Otherwise, we cannot register you and you will need to make another appointment.
