What personal data is recorded in the Non-residents Records Database?
You can check what personal data of yours is recorded in the Non-residents Records Database (RNI) on MijnOverheid. You can also check this through an RNI desk. Exactly what data of yours is recorded in the RNI depends on how you were registered.
Checking your data on MijnOverheid
On MijnOverheid you can check what data of yours is recorded in the RNI. You can log in using your DigiD or a recognised means of eID from another European country. After you have logged in click ‘Identiteit’. You can then click through to your personal data.
Checking your data through an RNI desk
If you’re not able to check your data on MijnOverheid, request an extract from one of the 19 municipalities in the Netherlands with an RNI desk. You can also make an appointment to collect an extract from an RNI desk, or authorise someone else to do so for you. Certain fees apply for requesting an extract from the RNI.
