Personal Records Database (BRP)

All municipalities in the Netherlands keep personal data of their residents in the Personal Records Database (Dutch abbreviation: BRP). Municipalities are allowed to use the personal data from the BRP if they need them for the proper performance of their statutory duties. An example of this is for levying municipal taxes.

Quick answers

Who are the parties with which my personal data from the BRP are shared?

Do you want to know with which organisations your personal data from the Personal Records Database (BRP) are shared? This depends partly on your personal situation.

By answering a few questions on the website of the Dutch central government, you can see which (types of) organisations receive your personal data from the BRP and for which purpose(s) they receive them.

You can also consult the website MijnOverheid to see which organisations receive your personal data from the BRP. You can also ask your municipality.
