    The municipality and reporting changes

    You report a move, a birth or a marriage to the municipality. Why that matters.

    Draft · not yet reviewed by a teacher

    Reporting changes

    The municipality records who lives where, in the Personal Records Database (BRP). That is why you report changes in your family to the municipality: a birth, a marriage, living together, a divorce, a death and a move.

    A change in your household can affect a benefit or allowance. So report it in time.

    What else does the municipality do?

    At the municipality you apply, for example, for a passport or ID card. The municipality also collects local taxes, such as property tax (ozb), sewerage charges, waste charges and parking charges.
