It is possible that as an angler you are a member of several associations and you have paid the national contribution several times. 

 

You are entitled to a refund of the overpaid payment if you have several VIPasses without an x to the right of the membership number. The reason for this is that the personal data at one of the associations is incorrect, so that you are not matched. It is also possible to request a refund of the payment if you have become a new member by means of a Provisional Certificate of Membership (VBL) at a new association, while you were already a member of another association.

If you have an extra VISpas (x to the right of the membership number) that you did not obtain through the provisional proof of membership, but directly through the association, we request that you reclaim the overpaid payment from the association.  

 

To request a refund of the double payments, we refer you to the site of Sportvisserij Nederland.
