Dutch term or phrase: kies

Ik kies tot het einde van de tenuitvoerlegging woonplaats op het hierboven vermelde kantooradres.

Use of the word 'kies' seems strange to me here. Is this a legal phrase that I am not aware of? Is he simply saying "I elect to reside at the aforementioned office address up to the end of the enforcement?"
