Notice. Municipalities set their own night caps and permit regimes on top of national registration; Amsterdam is the strictest.
How to register in Netherlands
- Request the registration number from your municipality (national duty under the Tourist Rental of Housing Act, municipal issuance).
- Check the municipal layer: permit type, night cap and zone rules differ by city — Amsterdam is the strictest regime.
- Display the registration number on every listing; platforms block ads without it.
- Notify the municipality per rental stay where required (Amsterdam) and stay within the annual night cap.
