Direct Emergency Messaging
Communicate with users abroad in seconds, not days. No email lists, no outdated contact databases. Just direct, instant delivery.
Why This Matters
Traditional communication channels like email newsletters or social media posts are unreliable for reaching citizens in critical situations. Email addresses go stale, social media algorithms limit visibility, and not everyone follows embassy accounts. Buitenland Loket provides a dedicated, reliable inbox that citizens actually check because it is part of the app they use for their daily administrative needs abroad.

How It Works
Through the Mijn Buitenland Loket management portal, authorized government personnel can compose and send messages to citizens. Messages are delivered instantly to the in-app inbox. You can target all users in a country, narrow it down to a region, or even reach people in a specific city. Citizens receive a push notification and can read the full message within the app.
Privacy First
The entire messaging system works without collecting or storing email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personal contact information. Citizens receive messages based on their selected country and detected location, not based on a personal profile. This means you can reach thousands of citizens while fully respecting their privacy.
