BSN-number
To start working in the Netherlands, even for a short time, you will need to obtain a Citizen Service Number (NL: Burgerservicenummer, in short BSN). With this personal registration number you are registered with the tax and social security systems and you can pay taxes. EU/EEA citizens need a valid passport/identity card in order to obtain a BSN. Non EU/EEA citizens need to show their work permit and contract from an employer.
To obtain a BSN you need to make an appointment at the tax office. Dial 0800-0543. The Dutch speaking computer will tell you to press 4>2 After this you need to give your name and phone number and someone will call you back within 2 weeks for an appointment.
