Hi,
What are the implications of not registering?
When I arrived I registered at the Expatcenter with a temporary address, which they said is valid for 3 months.
I have asked my landlady to give me documentation to register at my current address. She is reluctant to do so as she says she will be hit with a tax bill for the full calendar year, rather than just the period I have been paying rent for. Is this true?
I already have a BSN, bank account and medical insurance, so am wondering what do I do I need to register?
Are there any financial penalties I could incur or are there any problems down the line, should I wish to apply for a mortgage etc.

Hi John
My girlfriend has the same problem. As far is I understood it's only a problem if you're not from a schengen country (she's Canadien). I'm Swiss, for me it's ok.
For her, if she's not registered they could cancel the visa. I'm not sure if they would as she's on a one year visa anyway. It's quit annoying, as she has to be registered even while travelling in europe...It's even difficult to get a room with a registration, getting a registration without a room is even worse.
I think if you're from a schengen country, you just need the Sofie-Nr. and it's fine.
I don't think it's legal what your landlady does but there are many reasons that nobody wants to register us.
