Where to apply for a Dutch identity card

Bring all passports and identity cards, even expired ones, a compliant colour photo no more than six months old and payment. If a passport is held by an embassy, consulate or visa agency, bring written proof. The child attends application and collection. Under 12, a parent/guardian accompanies both visits and everyone with parental authority must consent. An absent consenting parent can use DigiD (the Dutch digital ID for government websites) or the written form with an ID copy. From 12, parental consent is not required and the child may apply/collect independently. Fingerprints are not taken below 12.

Bring all your passports and identity cards, including expired ones, a compliant colour photo taken within six months and payment. If your passport is held by an embassy, consulate or visa agency, bring written proof. Report a lost or stolen document before replacement; after reporting it cannot be used again. Two fingerprints are taken for an ID-card application from age 12; under-12s are exempt. The age-12 consent/fingerprint rules do not change the under-18 fee and five-year validity.
