Landing page captured for the 2026-09-23 issue.
For
People seeking public Dutch government records
Worth noticing
The project says a human sends every letter, and that the requester is named under article 4:2 of the Dutch General Administrative Law Act.

Field notes

The site says requests target named measures and concrete document classes, rather than broad statistics or information already public. Each register entry is meant to expose the subject, agency, filing date, and status; returned documents are published with their source and request context after personal data is redacted. It also says a human sends every letter, rather than automated correspondence.
