My Number Card Address Update

If you have a My Number card, you need to update the address printed on it and in its electronic certificates after moving. Bring the card with you when you file your move-in notification (or change-of-address notification if you stayed in the same municipality) and it is done at the same time. Both notifications are due within 14 days of the move.
