Basic personal data sampling for municipalities

Basic personal data sampling is a self-service application offered to municipalities, which makes it possible to extract personal data needed by the municipality for the performance of its statutory tasks and to contact inhabitants of the municipality. A pilot phase of the service was launched in July 2022. The pilot will continue until the end of 2022.

You can join the sampling service pilot by applying for a data access authorisation in the Digital and Population Data Services Agency’s e-services.
