One step closer to legality
Today I received my sofinummer (Social-Financial number: taxes, for the paying of). Which means that next month I’ll receive a full salary — until now I’ve been paying over 50% tax, which I now have to claim back. All I have to regularise now is my living situation, and I’ll be in the clear (officially I still live in Zaandam, and the house I officially live in has now been demolished…).

In email, Philippe tells me that he indeed found this entry via Google. I didn't have the heart to ask what the terms were... Happy ending: he's since discovered the tax office, which I trust will be more helpful.
(And just out of interest: how on earth did you come across my blog, if you were looking for information on the sofinummer?)
I think your French card should be enough, as an EU citizen. (Since I'm a New Zealander, I automatically needed a passport for everything, and proof of residency also.) You should get the number comfortably early, it's by appointment only and can take up to a couple of weeks.
Just a question...
I will also work in the netherlands soon and i also need a social/financial number. Do i really need a passport or is my french ID card enough?
thank you for your answer
