Application Procedure for AOW Voluntary Insurance from Amsterdam

The application for AOW voluntary insurance for Amsterdammers who emigrate is handled via the Social Insurance Bank (SVB). Download the 'Voluntary AOW Insurance' form from svb.nl and complete it with your passport, proof of address from the Amsterdam Basic Register of Persons (BRP), and income details. Submit it within three months after emigration to your neighbourhood team in Amsterdam or directly to the SVB, otherwise you risk a gap in your benefit. By post to SVB Postbus 52313, 1202 DE Hilversum, or digitally via Mijn SVB with DigiD – ideal for residents of Amsterdam-Zuid or Centrum. The SVB will assess within eight weeks and send a decision by post to your Amsterdam address or new foreign domicile. In case of rejection, you can lodge an objection within six weeks via the SVB or with assistance from the Juridisch Loket in Amsterdam (Burgemeester de Vlugtlaan 168). For urgent matters: call the SVB information line +31 20 633 55 33 or visit an SVB partner point in Amsterdam-Noord. Keep digital or notarial copies of everything with your Amsterdam notary. After approval, you will receive an annual premium assessment; pay via iDEAL, bank transfer, or at a local bank such as ING on the Dam. Report changes such as new address, income, or return to Amsterdam directly to the SVB and update your BRP with the Municipality of Amsterdam via amsterdam.nl. For relocation within the EU: inform the Amsterdam city pass team for a smooth transition. This procedure ensures continuity of your AOW rights, tailored to the dynamic expat community in Amsterdam, without interruptions.
