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.
