Passport

From birth, a person can have their own passport. When applying for a passport for a child under 18, both parents (custodians) must give permission.

Consent via DigiD

You can give prior via DigiD to apply for a passport. If both parents/legal guardians do this, all you need to bring to the appointment is the items listed below. If the custodial parents have given digital consent, they do not need to come with you to the appointment.

Consent via form

Do you not have DigiD or are you unable to give online permission? Then use the form Consent own travel document. Don't forget to bring a copy of the ID of the parents (holders of parental authority). At least 1 parent/legal guardian must be present at the application and also the child for whom the passport is intended.

• All your valid or expired identity cards and/or passports
• One good-looking passport photo, no older than 6 months, that meets all passport photo .
• If applicable: consent form signed by both parents and a copy of the parents' (custodians') identification documents.

A business passport has extra pages for foreign customs stamps and visas. This is useful if you travel a lot.

Do you regularly visit different countries on a business or professional basis where the stamps in your passport from countries you have already visited can cause problems when entering another country? Or do you regularly have to surrender your passport in connection with visa applications. Then a second passport is a solution. Your first passport must still be valid for at least six months when you apply for a second passport. The second passport is valid for two years.

Bring:

• all your valid or expired identity cards and/or passports, this includes your foreign identity cards and/or passports
• one good-looking color passport photo that meets all passport photo
• for children under the age of 18: the consent form, signed by both parents, and a copy of the parents' (custodians') identification documents.
• To apply for a second passport, you must also bring:
  • proof that you need to travel regularly to different countries requiring visas and/or proof that you want to visit a country that conflicts with a country whose stamps you already have in your passport
  • proof that you regularly need to travel urgently at a time when your national passport is at a foreign representation (e.g. embassy, consulate) in connection with visa applications. It must be a country to which it is not possible to travel with a Dutch identity card

You pay the fee directly at the time of application. Please remember that we do not accept €200 in paper money. This is for security reasons.

You can pick up your passport after seven working days. You must make an appointment to do so. Do you opt for an urgent procedure and did you apply before 2 p.m.? Then you can pick up your passport the next working day.

Pick up within three months

You have three months to pick up your passport. After that, it is officially invalid and will be destroyed. You must then make a new application.

If your passport 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 declaration of loss or theft will be made.
In cases of theft, pickpocketing, robbery and other crimes, it is very important to still report them to the police.
