In 2025, the Dutch Court of Audit found that since 2014 there have been hundreds of criminal cases involving potentially incorrect name registrations. This can lead to a variety of serious problems. Offenders may evade a sentence, or the enforcement of court rulings could get difficult, impossible or delayed. This project examines the legal obligations and powers of the minister of justice and the responsible agency (Justid/Matching Authority).
