Visit PDOK

PDOK (Publieke Dienstverlening Op de Kaart) is the Dutch national platform for public geospatial data, operated by the Kadaster and partners. It is known for delivering authoritative base registries through reliable, standardized OGC services rather than just file downloads.

Flagship datasets include the BAG (buildings and addresses), the BGT large-scale topography, cadastral parcels, and the PDOK basemap. Most are openly licensed, and the strong WMS/WFS/OGC API and vector-tile services make PDOK exceptionally easy to consume directly in a GIS like Atlas.

Frequently Asked Questions

The BAG (Basisregistratie Adressen en Gebouwen) is the Dutch national register of addresses and buildings — a core open dataset distributed through PDOK.

Not necessarily. PDOK is built around live services (WMS, WFS, OGC API, vector tiles), so you can stream most datasets without downloading files. Downloads are also available.

The large majority of PDOK datasets are open, commonly under CC0 / public domain terms.
