Municipal Offices in South Holland
Local municipal and district administrative offices in The Hague, Rotterdam, Leiden and surrounding areas of Zuid-Holland, Netherlands
The provinces of South Holland is divided into 60 municipalities known as gemeenten. Each Gemeente has a main city hall (stadhuis) and sub-municipal administrative offices (stadsdeelkantoren). Residents visit these offices for a variety of reasons including filing an intent to marry, adding a person to a household, collecting a new driving license and registering a grievance. Every person living in the Netherlands must be registered with their gemeente in which they reside.
