Frequently asked questions
How fast is a registered letter delivered in the Netherlands?
PostNL delivers the next day after handover. Upload by 15:00 on a working day and the letter is posted the same day.
Who can sign for it?
The addressee or an adult member of the household. PostNL does not leave a registered letter with the neighbours.
What if nobody is home?
PostNL leaves a card and keeps the letter at a PostNL point for two weeks, then returns it. Keep the PostNL record: a notice that did not arrive through the recipient's own doing can still take effect.
When does Dutch law ask for registered mail?
To end a residential lease, to end a lease of shop or restaurant premises, and for a landlord's reminder after an unanswered rent increase. For a notice of default or a 14-day letter it is not required, but it proves receipt.
Why do Dutch courts care about receipt?
Some rules only work once the letter has arrived. In 2024 a Rotterdam court refused collection costs because the creditor could not show the consumer received the 14-day letter. A PostNL signature answers that question.
Does the proof show what was in the envelope?
No. PostNL records posting and delivery. Our proof PDF adds a fingerprint of your file, so you can show which document was printed.
Can a company send these letters regularly?
Yes. Each letter is one PDF, one address and one proof. Ask for a custom volume price through the business form, always paid in advance. Each letter has its own VAT invoice.
