New in Maastricht: BRP Resident Parking, Bulky Waste

Maastricht consists of seven districts (wijken) with 44 neighbourhoods. The Centrum includes the Binnenstad, Jekerkwartier, Statenkwartier and, on the other side of the Maas, Wyck; Céramique was built on the former site of the ceramics industry on the Maas. In the south-west lie Villapark and Sint Pieter, in the west neighbourhoods such as Caberg and Malberg, in the east Wittevrouwenveld and Amby, and in the south-east Randwyck with the university campus as well as Heugem and Heer. Villages such as Borgharen and Itteren also belong to the municipality.

We deliberately do not give reliable rent figures – compare offers, pay attention to the deposit and proof of income, and check the route and parking rules before you sign.

As the seat of the provincial government of Limburg, a court, Maastricht University and several higher education institutions – including art academies, a conservatoire and a hotel school – Maastricht is an administrative and educational centre. In addition there are tourism, conferences and companies such as Q-Park, which has its headquarters in the city. Every spring the TEFAF art fair takes place, and in winter the carnival stronghold celebrates extensively.

From Maastricht station, trains run to Sittard, Roermond, Venlo and Eindhoven, to Liège and via Heerlen to Aachen; there is also a bus line between Maastricht and Aachen. The A2 runs beneath the city in the King Willem-Alexander Tunnel. We set the moving date to match the handover of your flat.

Whether a long-distance move to the Netherlands or back to Germany: we come from Berlin-Moabit and plan every journey ourselves. You can find destinations with their own page in the locations overview, and more details on long distances under long-distance moves.

In the Netherlands you register your residence with the municipality in the BRP (Basisregistratie Personen, the personal records database). The municipality of Maastricht distinguishes between two routes.

• Moving from another Dutch municipality: you can report the move from four weeks before until no later than five days after the move, ideally with DigiD. If you report later, your reporting date counts as the official moving date. Reporting is free of charge. You need a copy of your valid ID and, for a rented flat, the complete tenancy agreement signed by you and the landlord.
• Moving from abroad for more than four months: you must register within five days, also free of charge. First you fill in an online form, followed by an appointment at the GemeenteLoket for an identity check.

According to the municipality, for the appointment you bring, among other things, the signed tenancy agreement or the landlord's consent, your birth certificate if you were born abroad and, if you do not come from the EU, proof from the IND of lawful residence. Documents in languages other than Dutch, English, German or French must be translated by a sworn translator in the Netherlands. The municipality processes the registration within four weeks. If you stay less than four months, the RNI desk in Heerlen is responsible.

The route from Germany is explained in our long-distance moving guide for Maastricht; for cross-border topics see international moves.

Maastricht divides resident parking into two sectors. According to the municipality, the Binnenstad covers the area within the Singels, i.e. Centrum and Wyck; there is at most one permit per household there if no private parking space is available. In the overig gebied (other area) outside the Singels, there is no second permit if a private parking space is available.

• Requirements: BRP registration in Maastricht, residence in the area applied for, and a vehicle in your name or as a lease or company car. The permit is tied to a number plate, which you can change via the 2Park web app. Apply online with DigiD via the E-Loket; without DigiD, make an appointment at the GemeenteLoket on 14 043.
• Costs: the tariff page gives a parking tax (parkeerbelasting) of €30.08 per month in the Binnenstad (Centrum West and Centrum Oost), and €5.03 for the first and €7.56 for the second permit in the overig gebied.
• When moving: cancel the old permit up to seven days beforehand; you may need a new one.

You take bulky waste (grofvuil) to the Milieupark or have it collected by making an appointment with DigiD, in Maastricht only Wednesday to Friday. The municipality quotes €29.80 per hour for collection plus €22 processing for the first 100 kilos. More about the neighbourhoods is in the Maastricht moving guide.
