Goal and impact

The purpose of the algorithms is to find duplicate entries so that we can check and resolve them.

Considerations

We check duplicate registrations in the BRP by looking for similarities between personal lists. In doing so, we check weaknesses in the registration process. Here, an insensitivity is built in that ensures that registrations are not included that look a lot like duplicate registrations but are not (such as in the case of twins).

Human intervention

We use the PMD algorithms to compare person lists in a reproducible way. Whether a duplicate record has been found is determined by an expert from RvIG. If he judges it to be a double entry, we submit the personal records to the municipality or municipalities in which the persons are registered. The municipality may still come to the conclusion that it is not a double entry and make no change.

Risk management

Wrongful removal of a BRP registration.

Legal basis

The legal basis for a quality instrument such as PMD stems from Article 1.9 third paragraph, Article 1.11 second paragraph and Article 4.3 third paragraph of the BRP Act.
