Register your visit to the House of Representatives

You have to register in advance to be allowed into the House of Representatives – except when your tour will be on a Saturday. During the tour, you are also required to have your ID with you.

We ask that you register (online) before your tour.

How to register?

  • Make sure that the entered data (name and date of birth) is as stated in your ID.
  • Before you can enter the House of Representatives, you must pass through a security scan with your coat and bag.
  • After the security has scanned your ticket with the confirmation of registration, your identity will be checked. So make sure you bring a valid form of identification with you: e.g. a passport, an identity card or a driving licence.
