Registration in Amsterdam
In the Netherlands, the updated National Housing Law came into force on 1 January 2021. Amsterdam is the first city in the Netherlands to, based on that law, introduce a registration system. We voluntarily support the city of Amsterdam in implementing the registration system and we want to contribute to the success of this registration system and ensure that the municipality has the insights it needs to effectively and proportionately regulate vacation rentals.
As part of our commitment to National Registration, we will educate hosts in Amsterdam about how the new law applies to them to ensure they register in time. We encourage everyone to follow the rules.
How it works
All hosts, except those that are exempt because they for example host a hotel, need to register their listing and can do so via the website of the municipality of Amsterdam from April 1st, 2021. Registration happens via an online form on the city of Amsterdam’s website, is free of charge and will only take a few minutes to complete. Hosts receive their registration number instantly.

Hosts who have obtained their registration number for their listing will then need to add the details to their listing. When hosts log in to their account, they will be prompted to add these details under the regulations tab and once that process is completed their registration number will be visible on their listing page (if they haven’t claimed to be exempt, like hosts who host a hotel).

Responsible Hosting
We encourage hosts to become familiar with hosting responsibilities like the permit requirement for vacation rentals and B&Bs, and therefore we have put together a responsible hosting page to provide hosts with a general overview of different laws, regulations, and best practices that may affect hosts in Amsterdam.
