Your KLIC delivery in ErfPlan

Last updated: 8 September 2026. Step by step: requesting a KLIC notification from the Dutch Kadaster and putting the delivery on the map of your property. KLIC import is part of ErfPlan Pro; for the first seven days after installing you can try everything for free.

What KLIC does and does not show

Dutch network operators for electricity, gas, water, sewer, telecom and district heating are legally required to report where their cables and pipes run. A KLIC delivery from the Kadaster therefore contains what they have in the ground on and around your property. Anything you or a previous owner laid yourself — the cable to the shed, drainage, irrigation, garden lighting — is recorded nowhere. That is what ErfPlan is for.

When a report is mandatory and what the map leaves out is covered in the guide The Dutch KLIC dig report: what it shows — and what it doesn’t.

Step 1 — request it from the Kadaster

  1. Go to kadaster.nl and, under Woning, choose the KLIC-melding (mandatory when you dig with a machine) or the Oriëntatieverzoek (digging by hand, or no start date yet). Both cost € 10.50.
  2. Sign in with DigiD — the law requires you to identify yourself.
  3. Draw the area where you will dig. Generous is fine.
  4. Pay. You get a confirmation straight away and, within two working days, an email with a download link.
  5. Download the zip file immediately and keep it, for example in the Files app or in iCloud Drive. The link expires after twenty working days; after that the information is gone.

Step 2 — import it into ErfPlan

  1. Open your property in ErfPlan.
  2. On the map, tap ‘…’ › Import › Import KLIC…
  3. Pick the zip file exactly as you received it from the Kadaster — do not unzip it.
  4. ErfPlan draws the network operators’ cables and pipes as a reference layer on your map; in the list, the delivery gets its own KLIC entry. If it takes a moment you see the progress and can cancel.
  5. Then draw what the network operators do not know: your own lines, with depth, material and a photo of the open trench.

A KLIC delivery is not synced through iCloud: it stays on the device where you imported it. To have it on your iPad as well, import the zip file there again.

Something missing, or not where the map says?

The connection from the street to your meter cupboard should be in the delivery, but the law makes an exception for it and in practice it is missing regularly. Not there? Call the network operator — the contact details and your notification number are in the delivery letter inside the zip file.

Is a cable more than a metre from where it is drawn, or did you find something that is on no map at all? Report it via ‘Afwijking’ (deviation) in the Kadaster’s KLIC viewer. That makes the map better for the next person digging.

Important before you dig

ErfPlan is a practical reference map, not an official source or legal survey tool. The app does not replace the KLIC delivery or the network operators’ information. Always check the official sources before you dig — that responsibility remains yours.
