BSN Number Netherlands

One of the things that most people who go to work in The Netherlands are worried about is getting the BSN code. That shouldn't be the case because our support team takes care of all the programming and arrangements needed to get this code. If you don't know how important the BSN Number Netherlands code is or why you might need it, read the paragraphs below and find out all about BSN.

What is the BSN Number Netherlands code?

The name of this code can also be found in the form of Burgerservicenummer and is very similar to any identification number in any country. It has not been long since The Netherlands introduced this system for identifying citizens. Until 2007, The Netherlands operated on a system similar to that in America, in which every citizen has a social security code. It was called Sofinummer in The Netherlands.

To ensure the smooth running of government institutions in The Netherlands, the State has decided that a Netherlands BSN system is more than necessary. Now, everything has become simpler because the BSN code works both as a social security code and also as a tax identification code. Moreover, it is also used as a national identification code. You can't do much in The Netherlands if you don't have a BSN.

When do you need a BSN code?

The BSN code is intended for those who live in The Netherlands or intend to live in The Netherlands for a longer period. If you are a tourist or do not plan to stay in The Netherlands for more than 4 months, you will not need a BSN code. If you are one of those who want to work in The Netherlands, you will probably do this for a longer period, so you have to go through the whole process of getting this code.
