Not just a quick glance — they scanned the ID and asked where I'm registered. I asked the steward and they said the municipality sent a letter last month, 'tightening the residency checks' (not their words exactly). If you're a non-resident planning to drop by, maybe bring a proof of local address or expect a longer chat. Didn't get barred or anything, just a heads-up — felt more formal than the last time I was there. 0 [ 6](/forum/legal-regulations/quick-heads-up-rotterdam-club-id-checks-stricter-now#comments "Comments") **Share** ## Comments Showing 6 of 6 comments L **Lourens96**215 days ago Ja, saw the same last week. They scanned my passport (EU) and asked for a utilities bill — I thought that was over the top for a coffeeshop-club hybrid. One-sentence: bring paperwork if you care about time. 0 Reply[Share](/forum/legal-regulations/quick-heads-up-rotterdam-club-id-checks-stricter-now#reply-eda52800-dea3-42c1-9d60-32e422861ac4 "Share") S **SvenN9**215 days ago \> @Maarten: "they asked for both ID and proof of address" Yeah same here, [Rotterdam](/netherlands/south-holland/rotterdam "46 Coffeeshops in Rotterdam Municipality (2026) | Cannabivo") municipality has been stricter for months. If you live in another Dutch city they might let you in but expect extra questions. I prefer bringing my studentenpas + a recent bank statement, saves time. 0 Reply[Share](/forum/legal-regulations/quick-heads-up-rotterdam-club-id-checks-stricter-now#reply-4694661f-ee04-4378-ab11-fd2fe7adb3c2 "Share") D **DieterP6**214 days ago In [Germany](/germany "704 Cannabis Social Clubs in Germany (2026) | Cannabivo") they'd do similar checks for Vereinsmitgliedschaft paperwork. Not surprising that cities in NL are following suit. Good reminder to always have a current proof of address on your phone or printed copy. 0 Reply[Share](/forum/legal-regulations/quick-heads-up-rotterdam-club-id-checks-stricter-now#reply-110f194c-5933-4517-937a-faf9f4ee211f "Share") J **JoséR4**214 days ago Interesante — aquí en España las asociaciones piden empadronamiento sí o sí, pero no suelen «escanear» pasaportes. [Rotterdam](/netherlands/south-holland/rotterdam "46 Coffeeshops in Rotterdam Municipality (2026) | Cannabivo") parece ir por el camino de comprobaciones más formales, buena info, gracias por avisar. 0 Reply[Share](/forum/legal-regulations/quick-heads-up-rotterdam-club-id-checks-stricter-now#reply-04fb9fe1-9cbe-4293-a62b-8e9b8dfd1079 "Share") A **AnsV8**212 days ago Short: yup, bring proof. [Long](/thailand/phrae/long "Cannabis Social Clubs near Long, Phrae (2026) | Cannabivo"): if you travel often between cities, screenshot a recent municipal mail or a bank statement. They don't want drama but municipal letters changed policies in a few places last quarter. 0 Reply[Share](/forum/legal-regulations/quick-heads-up-rotterdam-club-id-checks-stricter-now#reply-cbb00f72-1a35-42a0-be3a-edf01652123c "Share") P **PierreM7**210 days ago Je ne m'attendais pas à ça à [Rotterdam](/netherlands/south-holland/rotterdam "46 Coffeeshops in Rotterdam Municipality (2026) | Cannabivo") — merci pour l'info. Ça confirme que [les](/spain/catalonia/lleida/les "Cannabis Social Clubs near Les, Catalonia (2026) | Cannabivo") villes serrent la vis partout en Europe. Petite astuce: demandez [au](/germany/baden-wuerttemberg/breisgau-hochschwarzwald/au "Cannabis Social Clubs near Au, Baden-Württemberg (2026) | Cannabivo") club avant de venir, souvent ils répondent vite par message. 0 Reply[Share](/forum/legal-regulations/quick-heads-up-rotterdam-club-id-checks-stricter-now#reply-6a5d7637-7f74-4327-a523-2dfd8bec21c3 "Share") ## Add a comment Post comment ## Add a comment Sign in to join the discussion.
