Paper application form
You must submit a paper application if
- it is impossible for you to apply electronically.
- you live in private shared housing. In that case you must also complete a separate form for shared housing. See below.
- you pay tax on a child’s wealth and want a deduction for this. In that case you must also complete a separate form. See below.
- someone is registered as living at the application address in the National Population Register, but doesn’t actually live there. This may apply to students who live where they study or other people who have not notified the National Population Register that they have moved. In your application, you must state who has moved out and why they haven’t notified the National Population Register.
