A BSN (Burgerservicenummer) is a unique personal identification number in the Netherlands that you need for tax returns, DigiD and benefits such as the ZEZ. Do you live abroad but have a Dutch business? Then you can apply for a BSN via the RNI (Registratie Niet-Ingezetenen, the register for non-residents) at a designated Dutch municipality or a Dutch embassy in your country.
