Municipal passport counters in the Netherlands

Booking and collection options, city by city

Passports are handled by the municipality where you are registered, and larger cities run more than one counter. Some counters let you walk in, others require a booking, and collection or delivery works differently too. Which office takes applications for an alien’s or refugee passport also depends on the city. Dutch citizens who live abroad can also use certain border municipalities.

    Bring all passports and identity cards you hold, including expired documents, and a compliant colour photograph no older than six months. For applicants under 18, arrange consent from everyone with parental authority and bring their ID or copies; the municipality provides DigiD (the Dutch digital ID for government websites) consent and a paper form. If all travel documents are lost and the previous one was issued elsewhere, call first: municipal identity checks may be needed, and a driving licence is insufficient for this check. If under curatorship, also bring your curator’s consent.
