Application Municipality of Groningen

If you are moving, it is mandatory to register with the new municipality. You must also report a move within the same municipality. You can do this from four weeks before the move up to 5 days after the move. If you do not do this, you can be fined about 325 euros. Are you going to live in another municipality for a maximum of 4 months? Only then is registration not required. In all other cases, it is.

You can report your move in different ways. In the municipality of Groningen, it can be done both online and at the municipal office. Here you can read more about it.

If you register with your new municipality, you will be automatically deregistered from your old one. You do not need to do anything yourself. Want to make sure everything went well with your registration? Check it via Mijn Overheid.

If you have never lived on your own before, registering with the new municipality has its advantages. You are then officially living independently and therefore also entitled to an independent student grant. In other words: more money!
