Kranshi requires an appointment to register in the population register
Since 7 September 2026 the population register (Kranshi) only handles registrations by appointment. This applies to anyone registering for the first time and to anyone who has to register again when settling in or returning to Curaçao; for example, someone who has just collected their residence permit, including a Rib'e Lugá one.
Since when:
What you should do: Book the appointment before you go: at sita.gobiernu.cw, by phone at (+5999) 434-1600 or by email at info.bsbv@gobiernu.cw. Check on the Loket Digital which documents to bring, so you hand in a complete application.
