Rijksinspectie van de Bevolkingsregisters

Seyss-Inquart proclaimed on 1941-01-10: all ‘persons of partial or complete Jewish heritage’ had to register. Dutch municipal authorities were instructed to enforce this measure, which coincided with the requirement that all Dutch people carry the new identity card. Jews had to complete and submit a questionnaire and received proof of registration, upon payment of one guilder. The registration forms were sent to the Rijksinspectie van de Bevolkingsregisters. Nearly all Jews completed the registration forms. Non-compliance was subject to up to five years imprisonment.
