Navigating the Dutch BSN Number with A1 Werkplan

Embarking on a successful career journey in the Netherlands begins with obtaining your BSN (Burger Service Nummer), commonly known as the Personal Tax Number. This crucial identifier is indispensable for processing your salary. The BSN number is formerly called Sofinumber.

If you haven't acquired your BSN number yet, A1 Werkplan will care about it and help you to get one. A1 Werkplan streamlines this process for you. We provide comprehensive support, guiding you through the necessary steps and scheduling appointments with the relevant townhall to obtain your BSN number promptly and hassle-free. Our service is not only efficient, but also completely free of charge.

What is a BSN number?
The BSN number serves as a unique identifier for both citizens and legal residents of the Netherlands. It plays a pivotal role in interactions with governmental and private entities alike. From receiving your salary to enrolling in health insurance and opening a bank account, the BSN number is a fundamental requirement for various administrative procedures in the Netherlands.

Obtaining Your BSN Number
After registering at the town hall, you can obtain your BSN number document on the spot. Simply schedule an appointment with the town hall, and they will issue the document free of charge. It's essential to retain this document securely, as requesting a duplicate incurs additional fees. Your BSN number remains valid indefinitely, irrespective of changes in residency status. Even if you live abroad, are going to live abroad or if you return to the Netherlands from abroad.

Required Documentation
To obtain your BSN number, you'll need a valid identity document, such as a passport or identity card, along with proof of your address of residence in your home country.

Period of validity
You receive the personal BSN number only once. Your citizen service number will always remain valid and unchanged.

Lost Your BSN Number Document?
In the event of misplacing your BSN number document, don't panic. You can request a new document, known as "uittreksel RNI," from the town hall where you initially registered. This service is typically subject to a fee of approximately 25 euros.

Final Note for Employees
As your employer, we require not only your BSN number, but also the official letter from the town hall confirming your BSN number to process your salary. Ensure you have this letter readily available to avoid any delays in payment.
