Do you want to know if you have to submit a notification or if you need an all-in-one permit for physical aspects (omgevingsvergunning)? You can do an online permit check on the online service counter (omgevingsloket in Dutch).

  1. Go to Omgevingsloket online (the online environment service counter, in Dutch).
  2. Run a permit check to see if you need a permit or if you must submit a notification.
  3. If you need a permit, you can apply for it at once online on Omgevingsloket or send in a written application. Log in with DigiD (for individuals) or eHerkenning (for businesses).
  4. If you have to submit a notification, you can do so at once on Omgevingsloket. Log in with DigiD (for individeuals) or eHerkenning (for businesses).

The cost depends on which all-in-one permit for physical aspects you apply for. Note that you must pay even if your application is rejected. View the 2023 environmental permit fees.

You can view the list of permit applications and decisions at ‘omgevingsvergunning aanvragen‘ (page in Dutch). 

Good to know

You can not start work until you have obtained the permit. If you start before that, you may have to undo the work at your own expense.
