Address investigation

An address investigation looks at whether one or more persons at a particular address are registered in the Basic Registration of Persons (BRP) and whether they actually live there.

You can request an address investigation from the municipality in the following cases:

  • Someone is registered at your address who does not live there.
  • Someone has a letter address at your address and you can no longer reach that person.
  • Someone has a letter address at your address and you want to revoke your permission for the letter address.

Would you like to have an address investigation done? Please make an appointment.
