Data in the Personal Records Database (BRP)
General
Your personal data are registered in the personal records database (BRP). If your personal data are wrong, you can ask the council to correct them. Following adoption or gender reassignment, you can ask the council to remove any data from before the adoption or gender reassignment.
What you need to know
- Go to MijnOverheid.nl (Dutch) to see which personal data are held about you and your underage children.
- Only the council where you live can correct your personal data.
- To change your surname following marriage or divorce (Dutch), a procedure is in place.
- If you do not want the council to share your personal data with other parties, you can contact the council.
How it works
Send a letter to Gemeente Breda
- In the letter, explain which data are incorrect and what they should be.
- Enclose the following with the letter:
- a copy of evidence (in a document) showing that your personal data in the BRP are incorrect
- a copy of the document showing the correct data, for example birth certificate
- a copy of your proof of ID
- Send the letter to:
Gemeente Breda
Afdeling Publieksservice
Postbus 90156
4800 RH Breda - The council will tell you once your data have been corrected.
Costs
Having data in the BRP corrected or removed is free of charge.
