Abstract
In 1996 the Dutch parliament passed a law (the Koppelingswet), which enables a large number of (quasi-) public and private organizations, like the immigrant office, the tax administration, social security agencies, hospitals and notary’s offices, to exchange electronic data regarding the permit of residency of foreigners and immigrants. The goal of this coupling operation is the reduction of fraud and abuse of services by people who have no residency permit. The information resources of the immigrant offices and other organizations are being shared and integrated, which leads to changes in the organizational boundaries of these organizations; to some extent they are beginning to blur.
