Organisations now have the option to receive information products derived from the Personal Records Database (BRP) instead of individual data elements. Examples receiving age information instead of date of birth, or official salutation formats instead of a name data set. Information concerning guardianship is also available directly.
Using these information products, BRP recipients handle fewer personal details, aiding adherence with with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Furthermore, these products support data minimisation as they help to save time and improve service delivery.
Objective
This experiment aims to evaluate whether BRP users find information products more effective than separate data sets. This trial is continuously monitored, and an independent body will conduct an evaluation at its conclusion. A review after the first year will assess if there’s enough data to suggest changes to the Dutch Municipal Personal Records Database Act (also known as the BRP Act).
Interested in more information?
All municipalities, a maximum of 75 government organisations, and designated third parties can participate in this experiment. Participants will connect through the BRP Application Programming Interface (API). To access this, they must sign a covenant and receive authorisation for information products before receiving data. Participation allows access to new functionalities and contributes to the development of new information products.

This four-year experiment is conducted by the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations (BZK). More information about the BRP API is available on the website of the National Agency for Identity Data (RvIG).
