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.

    Saturday appointments are available too, and collecting the finished passport needs no further appointment.

    Bring all valid and expired identity documents, including travel documents from another nationality, a compliant photograph no more than six months old, and payment. There is no photo booth at the Inwonersplein. Adults under curatele also need the curator’s written consent and identification or a copy. Applicants under 18 need consent from everyone with parental authority and their valid identification or signed copies. Under-12s attend with a parent or guardian; applicants aged 12–17 may attend alone with the required consent. Complete consent through DigiD (the Dutch digital ID for government websites) and bring the case number, or print the form and sign it after printing.
