Practice question BRP (Basisregistratie Personen)
Which data is stored in the BRP?
In Dutch: Welke gegevens worden opgeslagen in de BRP?
Choices
- Only name and address
- Name, address, date of birth, nationality, marital status and family compositionCorrect answer
- Name, address and income
- Only personal data of Dutch citizens
Explanation
Correct answer: Name, address, date of birth, nationality, marital status and family composition
The BRP contains much more than just name and address: also date of birth, nationality, marital status (married/divorced) and whether you have children. The government uses this to decide which toeslagen you qualify for, such as kinderbijslag or huurtoeslag.
Why the other choices are wrong
- Option A: You might think the BRP only has names and addresses, but it also holds important facts like birth date, nationality, and marital status.
- Option C: Income is not one of the personal details stored in the BRP.
- Option D: The database includes all residents who live in the Netherlands, not only people who hold Dutch citizenship.
