Application Procedure for Voluntary AOW Insurance from Abroad for Residents of Delft

For residents of Delft who emigrate, such as many students and professionals from TU Delft, the application for voluntary AOW (General Old Age Pensions Act) insurance is processed through the Social Insurance Bank (SVB). Download the form 'Voluntary AOW Insurance' from [svb.nl](https://www.svb.nl) and complete it with your passport, proof of address from the Delft Municipal Personal Records Database (BRP), and income details. Submit the form within three months of emigration to the Municipality of Delft (Markt 84, 2611 GW Delft) to avoid a gap in coverage. Send it by post to SVB, P.O. Box 52313, 1202 DE Hilversum, or digitally via [Mijn SVB](https://www.mijnsvb.nl) using your DigiD. The SVB will assess your application within eight weeks and send a decision. If your application is denied, you may lodge an objection within six weeks, optionally with assistance from the Legal Counter in Delft (contact: 0900 8020). For urgent matters, call the SVB information line at +31 20 633 55 33 or consult the SVB helpdesk for expats. Keep copies of all documents. Upon approval, you will receive an annual premium assessment; pay this via iDEAL or bank transfer. Report changes such as a new address or income directly to the SVB and update your BRP in case of relocation within the EU via the [Delft municipal website](https://www.delft.nl). This procedure, tailored to the international mobility of Delft residents, ensures the continuity of your AOW rights without interruptions.
