Bill in Mijn Inburgering

  1. The school sends the bill digitally to DUO.
  2. You receive an e-mail that there’s a bill for you in Mijn Inburgering. 
  3. You log in to Mijn Inburgering. 
  4. You check if the bill is correct.
  5. Is the bill correct? Then select ‘accepteren’ (accept). DUO will pay the money to the school out of your loan.
  6. Is the bill not correct? Then select ‘weigeren’ (reject). DUO will not pay any money to the school out of your loan.

Bill on paper

  1. Check if the bill is correct.
  2. Is the bill correct? Write your Citizen Service Number (BSN) and your signature on the bill.
  3. Send the original bill to DUO. Don’t send a copy of the bill. The address is:
    DUO
    Servicecentrum Inburgering
    Postbus 764
    9700 AT Groningen
  4. Make sure that the school also sends DUO the bill digitally.

Bills after finishing integration

Have you finished your integration? You will receive a letter informing you that your loan stops. The letter also informs you about what to do if you still have bills to be paid.
