Where to collect your EU registration card in the Netherlands

Book only for the place named in your IND letter

An approved card is handed over in person, and the IND letter says which desk holds it. Booking a different place leads to a cancelled appointment. Each desk has its own way of taking bookings, and a parent has to be present for a child. Each desk also explains what to do if your online account says the card is ready but no letter has come.
