Requesting a block on information in the population register
Service Description
In principle, anyone can obtain information about a specific person from the register of residents on request. However, you can have an information block entered in the population register if the disclosure of your address could endanger your life, health, personal freedom or similar interests worthy of protection. An information block in the population register is only entered under strict conditions.
The information block only affects the private sector (private individuals, companies, lawyers, etc.).
Authorities and other public bodies continue to receive information.
The information block is limited to two years. It can be extended upon renewed application.
Process flow
We recommend that you contact the responsible office before applying and find out whether a block is possible in your case.
The information block is entered on application. When submitting the application, you must provide facts and credible evidence as to why the provision of information could endanger your life, health, personal freedom or similar interests worthy of protection. The application can be made in writing or in person at the authority.
Your details will then be checked by the competent authority. If this check shows that the relevant requirements have been met, an information block will be noted in the residents' register for 2 years, which applies to all types of information from the residents' register to private individuals and non-public bodies.
The block only applies to the residence for which it was requested.
You can have the information block extended after this period has expired.
