Amsterdam short-term rental registration (toeristische verhuur)

Holiday rentals (toeristische verhuur) in Amsterdam combine a national registration number (registratienummer), a municipal holiday-rental permit (vergunning), notification before each temporary stay, and night caps for eligible primary residences. These layers sit on top of Dutch housing law (Huisvestingswet 2014) and the Besluit registratie toeristische verhuur (BWBR0044586 on wetten.overheid.nl). Regulation (EU) 2024/1028 adds platform verification from 20 May 2026 but does not replace local licensing. Host Registry, by Glint, helps you track numbers, permits, notifications and caps. We do not certify listings or auto-submit to government portals.

National registratienummer (free, mandatory on listings)

You need a registration number before you can rent out your home. Amsterdam hosts request it on toeristischeverhuur.nl (linked from amsterdam.nl holiday rentals). You only register once and it is free. The Besluit registratie toeristische verhuur (BWBR0044586) requires displaying the registratienummer on listings. The number is not a permit: it identifies the rental for enforcement and EU platform checks.

Amsterdam holiday-rental vergunning (separate from the number)

Amsterdam requires a holiday-rental permit (vergunning vakantieverhuur) in addition to the registration number. The permit costs €76, as shown by the City of Amsterdam in October 2026, and is valid until 1 April of the following calendar year. You may host a maximum of 4 guests at a time. You must live at the address and be registered there. If you rent from a private landlord, you need the owner's permission. You cannot rent out a home owned by a housing association. Homes that are not your registered residence do not qualify under this live-and-register rule. Whether a permit can transfer to a new owner, occupant, or address is not described on the live permit page: check with Gemeente Amsterdam (adviser-only).

Notify the city before each stay

You must report each period that you rent out your home before your guests arrive. Use the online "Report a holiday rental" service on toeristischeverhuur.nl. Amsterdam's reporting holiday rentals page does not state a number of days or hours in advance. Prepare registratienummer, vergunning reference, dates and guest count. Host Registry tracks upcoming stays and prepares copy fields. You submit manually; there is no live Glint API to gemeente systems.

Night caps (30 / 15 nights)

The City of Amsterdam allows up to 30 rental nights per calendar year. In eight wijken in Centrum and Oude Pijp, the maximum is 15 nights from 1 April 2026 (https://www.amsterdam.nl/en/housing/holiday-rentals/holiday-rental-permit/holiday-rentals-centrum-pijp/, Gemeenteblad 2026/151001: https://zoek.officielebekendmakingen.nl/gmb-2026-151001.html). Cap Guard in Host Registry counts calendar nights (including wijk mapping for inner-city areas) and alerts before limits. Overview: /en/guides/amsterdam-night-cap.

EU Regulation 2024/1028 on platforms

From 20 May 2026, platforms must collect, verify and display registration data where Member States require it, and share information under EU rules. Display your registratienummer on Airbnb, Booking.com and every OTA. Mark per-channel display in Host Registry. Glint does not update OTA profiles for you.
