Statement under oath or promise about personal data

Don't have documents from an official event abroad, such as a marriage or death? Then file a statement about your personal data with the municipality.

Approach

This is how you make a statement about your personal data:

  • You go to the municipality.
  • You bring all your official documents, such as a passport or driver's license.
  • You take the oath or pledge. The declaration will be in writing and signed by you.

Description

Of an official event abroad, you must submit the official documents to the municipality. For example, if you got married abroad or had a child there.

Are you unable to provide these documents? Then it is sometimes possible to make a statement under oath or promise. After this, the municipality will enter the data in the Basic Registration of Persons (BRP). Whether you choose the oath or the promise depends on your philosophy of life. The municipality will check your declaration in other registers if possible.

It is a criminal offense to pass on false information under oath or promise.

When do we make a statement under oath?

  • An initial registration in the BRP.
  • An oral or written request by the citizen for records.

Terms

The condition for making a statement about your personal data is:

  • You cannot provide the required documents to the municipality.
