- Rental agreement, ownership proof or accepted address evidence
- Original civil-status documents for everyone moving

At the appointment
Attend at the municipality's Inwonersplein location with every family member being registered. The municipality assesses the documents and registers the move from abroad.
Do not treat a requested appointment as proof that registration is complete.
BSN and short stay
Eindhoven indicates that confirmation of resident registration can take up to four weeks. For stays under four months, RNI may apply.
Eindhoven's RNI desk accepts European passports or identity cards; other passport holders are directed to Breda or Venlo.
Plan around the processing window
Banking, DigiD and insurance workflows may depend on the BSN or BRP confirmation. Carry interim evidence and avoid assuming same-day completion.
