Id.

In the Netherlands, everyone over the age of 14 must be able to identify themselves. People younger than 14 may also be asked for proof of identity by hospitals and health care institutions. Abroad, everyone, regardless of age, must be able to identify themselves. In a number of countries this can be done with an identity card. An identity card is valid for five years up to the age of 18, and for 10 years from the age of 18. An identity card must be applied for in person and collected from the municipality where you are registered. If you are applying on behalf of a child, the child must also be present at both times. To apply for an identity card you must make an appointment.

Missing/Theft

If your identity card is lost or stolen, you no longer need to report it to the police. When you apply for a new passport or identity card, a report of loss or theft will be made. In case of theft, pickpocketing, robbery and other crimes, it is very important to still report it to the police.

Online reporting of missing persons

Please note: If you report the loss online, you can only apply for a new travel document at the counter after 2 working days due to checking and processing. Don't want to wait 2 business days?
