Random Netherlands Address Generator
The Dutch postcode is the tidiest addressing system in Europe: four digits and two letters, which combined with a house number identify a single address uniquely. Dutch checkout forms exploit this — enter postcode and house number and the rest of the address fills itself in.

}Test data only. This record describes no real person. Numbers are drawn from ranges reserved so they can never be assigned, and the address is not deliverable. Using synthetic data to impersonate anyone, open or verify an account, or evade identity checks is prohibited — see the terms.
How Netherlands addresses are structured
12 provinces. As in Germany, the province is not used in addressing — the postcode alone is sufficient for delivery.

Postcode format
| Local name | postcode |
|---|---|
| Format | 4 digits, space, 2 letters |
| Example | 1012 AB |
- Postcode plus house number is a unique key for any Dutch address, which is why so many Dutch forms ask for only those two fields.
- The four digits run roughly south-west to north-east; Amsterdam occupies 1000–1099.
- The letter pair is assigned per street side or block segment.
- The combinations SS, SD and SA are avoided for historical reasons.
Netherlands phone number format
| Country code | +31 |
|---|---|
| Numbering plan | Dutch Numbering Plan |
| Example | +31 6 12345678 |
- Mobiles are 06 followed by eight digits; internationally +31 6 xxxxxxxx.
- Landline area codes are two or three digits — 020 Amsterdam, 010 Rotterdam, 070 The Hague — and the subscriber number shrinks correspondingly to keep the total at nine digits after the trunk zero.
- The trunk zero is dropped in international format.
BSN (Burgerservicenummer)
| Identifier | BSN (Burgerservicenummer) |
|---|---|
| Example shape | 123456782 |
- Nine digits, validated by the elfproef — a weighted modulus-11 check.
- Replaced the older SoFi number in 2007.
- Required for employment, banking and healthcare, and treated as sensitive under Dutch privacy law.
The identity numbers this page generates match the documented digit pattern so that form validation can be tested. They are not issued numbers, they correspond to no person, and they will not resolve against any authority.
Cities and provinces
The generator draws from these cities. Each is paired with the province it is actually in, and with the postcode prefix that area really uses — so a generated record is internally consistent rather than three unrelated values stuck together.
| City | Province | Postcode prefix |
|---|---|---|
| Amsterdam | Noord-Holland NH | 10 |
| Haarlem | Noord-Holland NH | 20 |
| Rotterdam | Zuid-Holland ZH | 30 |
| Den Haag | Zuid-Holland ZH | 25 |
| Leiden | Zuid-Holland ZH | 23 |
| Utrecht | Utrecht UT | 35 |
| Eindhoven | Noord-Brabant NB | 56 |
| Groningen | Groningen GR | 97 |
| Arnhem | Gelderland GE | 68 |
Frequently asked questions
Why do Dutch forms only ask for postcode and house number?
Because that pair uniquely identifies an address in the Netherlands. The street and city can be looked up from it, so asking for them is redundant. If you are building a Dutch checkout, the expected behaviour is autofill from those two fields — anything else feels broken to Dutch users.
Should the postcode have a space in it?
Officially yes: 1012 AB. In practice systems accept it without, and PostNL strips it for processing. Store it normalised and display it with the space.
How does the elfproef validate a BSN?
Each digit is multiplied by a descending weight, the last digit by −1, and the total must be divisible by eleven. It is a genuine checksum, so Dutch government-facing forms really do reject invalid numbers rather than merely checking the length.
Are tussenvoegsels like "de" and "van" part of the surname?
They are a separate component. Dutch name particles sort under the main surname — de Vries files under V — which regularly breaks alphabetical sorting built on naive string comparison.
