It is no longer mandatory to keep a 1.5-meter distance in the Centre, and it is no longer mandatory to wear a face mask in City Hall. 

However, we still ask that if you have a positive Coronavirus test, or if you are showing any symptoms, to please stay at home. Please contact our staff to re-schedule your appointment.

The Dutch government still recommends keeping up social distance, coughing and sneezing into your elbow, washing your hands regularly; and wearing a face mask in crowded places.

Please visit government.nl for the latest Coronavirus measures in the Netherlands.

General services

  • For municipal registration, collecting your residence document, or registering your certificates, please make an appointment via our website.
  • ACCESS volunteers are available to answer questions from visitors at the Centre. You can also send your questions to: helpdesk@access-nl.org

Tips for getting an earlier appointment for municipal registrations:

  • Appointment slots are available 3 months in advance. Please book appointments in advance if you are a newcomer. You can change or rebook appointments with the confirmation email that is automatically sent to the contact person.
  • If you cannot come to the appointment, please cancel, or rebook so someone else can take your slot.
  • Sometimes it may be quicker to book separate appointments for family members. You can book an appointment for the employee first and later for the accompanying family members. The employee can already be incorporated on the payroll. We have more appointment slots available for individuals than families due to ongoing coronavirus measures.
