International students registration
January is the start of a new school semester and universities in The Hague region will be welcoming new international students. Before the courses begin, it is important as a student to take care of all the necessary formalities, such as municipal registration.
New international students have to make an appointment for municipal registration. As from 13 January 2025 students can make an appointment for registration. The district office is located inside the police station and next to Albert Heijn supermarket. You can follow the student banners to desk 9 and 10.
Registration is mandatory. International students who will be staying in The Hague for longer than 4 months are required to be registered in the Personal Records Database (BRP). The students will then get a citizen service number (BSN) which is necessary to purchase health insurance and to open a bank account.
