Never put your BSN on your CV
Your burgerservicenummer does not belong on a CV or in a job application. The Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, the Dutch data protection regulator, is explicit: your BSN is confidential and only becomes relevant once you are actually hired, for the tax authority. An employer is not allowed to keep it from an application, and if it appears by accident they must make it illegible. If a recruiter asks for your BSN before you have a contract, that is a red flag.
Get the rest of it, in your own language.
MAS reads your IND letter, checks whether an employer can legally sponsor you, and finds work that will actually take you. Free, no account.
