Welcome to Peel en Maas

Word of the mayor

You are most welcome to the Municipality of Peel and Maas. I wish you a good stay. You have already found work and accommodation. I hope the work and housing meet your expectations. Besides working and living well, I also wish you to spend your leisure time well. With relaxation, sports and recreation. In this information app, you will find information that will help you find your way around our municipality and the Netherlands.

As an EU citizen, besides rights, you also have some duties. You can read more about this in this app. If you wish to stay here in the Netherlands for longer than 4 months, you need to register as a resident. From that moment on, you are a temporary resident of our municipality. Would you like to stay longer in our municipality or in the Netherlands? If so, we will be happy to help you on your way. You will find information and advice on this in this app.

You need the municipality for important events and documents: getting married, having children, passports and driving licences. You should also report unpleasant matters such as death and theft of documents to the municipality. Where possible and necessary, we support you. Learning the Dutch language, living in a house of your own, schools for the children, dealing with neighbours and paying taxes are important issues to us. I hope you had a pleasant first meeting with the municipality.

Wilma Delissen-van Tongerlo, Mayor of Peel en Maas
