Proof of residence

Please note: it is temporarily not possible to make an appointment with the IND.

The Temporary Protection Directive (2001/55 EC) entitles the Netherlands to shelter and medical care. And education for minor children. It also gives the opportunity to work. Refugees from Ukraine must register in the Municipal Personal Records Database (BRP) after arrival. After that, they must make an appointment with the IND as soon as possible to collect a proof of residence. This allows them to stay in the Netherlands until 4 March 2023. This proof can be collected until 31 October 2022 at the latest. The IND has temporarily stopped issuing the stickers. Read more about this in the following document.
