Addresses In Order

The algorithm is deployed to have the BRP filled as well as possible without errors. The algorithm uses some indicators so that in case of possible problems in the BRP, investigations can be made into the possible errors or problems.

Responsible use

Goal and impact

Municipalities are responsible for registering people in the Basic Registration of Persons (BRP). Based on this data, the municipality provides benefits and subsidies, among other things. Other government institutions also use the data in the BRP. It is therefore very important that the data in the BRP are correct.

There are several reasons why data in the BRP may not be correct. It could be that citizens forget to register or do not know that they should. But it could also be that citizens wilfully fail to register, register at an incorrect address to commit social security fraud, or wilfully fail to register to avoid creditors.

Considerations

The algorithm is deployed because the quality of the BRP must be kept legally in order. With every move, there is a risk of errors that must be checked to keep the quality of the BRP in order.


In case of errors in the BRP, corrections have to be made and additional research has to be done for each move. With the use of the algorithm, we can prevent errors and thus avoid a lot of work afterwards. This ensures better service to residents and less social costs.

Human intervention

The algorithm only signals possible errors in the BRP when a move is made. In case of possible errors on one of the algorithm's indicators, the move is checked by an official. The official assesses whether to contact the moving resident if further investigation is required.

Risk management

Each indicator is in a legal framework and has been tested accordingly, privacy data protection is guaranteed in this algorithm. It has been clearly agreed which data can be used and cannot be accessed once the algorithm has been deployed.

  • For persons whose previous place of residence was temporarily unknown, it was found that the registration in the BRP often does not match the actual situation. The algorithm selects potential high-risk addresses for further address research.
