Request information block in the population register
Service Description
In principle, anyone can obtain information about a specific person from the population register upon request. However, you can have a block on information 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 civil 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
It is recommended that you contact the responsible office before applying and find out whether a block can be considered in your case.
The information block will be entered upon application. When submitting the application, you must state the facts and provide credible evidence as to why you may be at risk to life, health, personal freedom or similar interests worthy of protection if information is provided. The request can be made in writing or in person by visiting the authority.
Your information will then be checked by the competent authority. If this check shows that the relevant requirements are met, a block on the provision of information will be noted in the civil register for 2 years, which applies to all types of civil register information to private individuals and non-public bodies.
The block only applies to the dwelling for which it was requested.
You can have the information block extended after the time has expired.
