What for

Built for your Legal Aid Board fee claims.

When you claim your fees from the Legal Aid Board (Raad voor Rechtsbijstand) you need the postcode of each location — and, for on-call (piket) cases, the distance from your office to that location too. Afstanden gives you both in seconds, ready to copy straight into Mijn RvR.

Claiming for criminal cases

Instantly look up the right postcode for a (hearing) location and copy it into Mijn RvR.

Claiming for on-call (piket) cases

Get both the postcode and the driving distance from your office in one go — exactly what your on-call claim asks for.
