Goal and impact
Once an online move is received, the Insight Module checks whether the declaration contains any anomalous properties. Are there no peculiarities? Then the move is processed automatically. Do the module checks produce a signal? Then the module makes the declaration ready for the civil servant in the Centric Burgerzaken waiting room. There, the official assesses whether additional questions or investigations are required. If the conclusion is that the declaration is in order, the official processes it. The Insight module tests the online declarations against the checks of the National Approach to Address Quality (LAA) and checks that officials will recognise from everyday practice. For example, checks for frequent movers, the purpose of use of a property, over-occupancy of an address or an address where many relocations take place.
The importance of a correctly registered address goes beyond keeping the Basic Registration of Persons (BRP) in order. If a disaster occurs, for instance, you want to be able to warn everyone in the area in time. As a municipality, you also provide facilities, benefits or subsidies to residents on the basis of the address registered in the BRP. This makes correct address registration important for both residents and government.
The algorithm checks various details of the citizen. If no peculiarities are found in the declaration, it can be processed without the intervention of an employee. If a particularity is found, the declaration falls into a waiting room where it is checked by an employee. The algorithm can only automatically approve a declaration. Only the official can reject a declaration.
Considerations
The fact that many simple declarations are processed automatically leaves officials more time for the special and/or complex declarations the municipality receives. As a result, these can be assessed better and more accurately. As a result, the declarant is better served and fewer errors are made. This improves the quality of the BRP.
Human intervention
The algorithm assumes a positive scenario. This means that simple declarations are processed automatically. When a peculiarity occurs, the declaration is always assessed by an official. The official then checks the declaration himself and can process or reject it. In case of rejection, it is always the official who does this and never the algorithm.

- This algorithm from Stichting Inlichtingenbureau (IB)* is for municipalities. To check whether someone is eligible for collective income support schemes, which fall under categorical special assistance. Like collective health insurance, for example. Municipalities can also use it to assess whether someone is still entitled to a scheme, so that they can automatically extend it.Last change on 3rd of September 2025, at 10:12 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0

- The algorithm recognises the biometric data of driving licences, identity cards and passports, making it clear to the municipality whether the resident is who they say they are. This allows the municipality to check whether they are delivering municipal services to the right person.Last change on 25th of June 2025, at 8:44 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0
