Full guide by section

Which government websites are about your integration?

Integration affects several institutions. That's why it sometimes seems like information is scattered. Once you know which site is for what, searching becomes much easier.

01

Which site corresponds to which type of question

Inburgeren.nl

For route, system and general explanation.

DUO and Mijn Inburgering

For exams, messages, planning and your personal file.

Municipality and IND

For local implementation or residence rights questions.

02

The fastest way not to get lost

1. Link each message to the sender

Whoever sends it usually immediately tells you where you should look next or respond.

2. Don't just search by topic, but by owner of the topic

Exams, accommodation and guidance often have different owners.

3. Don't use well-known sites out of habit

The best-known site is not always the right site for your current question.

03

Why this insight gives peace of mind

A lot of confusion feels like there is too much information. In practice, it is often just a problem of incorrectly classified information.

Frequently asked questions

Important questions that come up often

Use these short answers as your first orientation, then open the matching guide for more detail.

Is My Integration the same as Inburgeren.nl?

No. Inburgeren.nl provides a general explanation. My Integration shows your personal file and status.

Do you need the IND for every integration problem?

No. IND is mainly relevant for residence and naturalization questions, not for all route or exam questions.

Who decides my route?

Under the new law, the municipality usually plays a central role through broad intake and the PIP.
