Places for fingerprints and residence card pick-up in the Netherlands

Match the place on your IND letter with the right city

Visits are by appointment only, and not every place offers every service. Some serve only people from a certain region, and an appointment booked before your letter arrives can be cancelled. Each place runs its appointments in its own way, so take your passport and your appointment code along.

    Strawinskylaan 1767, World Trade Center — Tower Two, ground floor; entrance Zuidplein, 1077 XX Amsterdam

    If you are an eligible international employee or family member, send the request form, then phone for a date.

    Bring valid identity evidence and the IND (Dutch immigration service) receipt, biometric request or collection notice appropriate to the service. For a combined municipal-registration visit, check the separate signed address proof, original civil certificates and translation/legalisation requirements. Missing birth or marriage certificates may require a later appointment. Enter WTC Tower Two via Zuidplein at ground level; this is a different location from the IND desk at Pieter Calandlaan.

    IND desk Amsterdam

    Pieter Calandlaan 1, 1065 KH Amsterdam

    Book after the immigration service’s letter arrives, and look for the desk opposite Lelylaan station.

    Bring a valid passport or travel document and your appointment code. Bring your previous residence document or W/W2 document if applicable, or the police loss/theft report. For a Netherlands-born child aged two or older, bring the parent’s valid passport or residence document and the child’s valid passport, birth certificate or municipal BRP (Dutch population register) registration; copies of the last two are accepted. For ordinary collection, attend personally; someone else cannot collect for you. A child under 18 must attend with a parent or legal representative. For a child born in the Netherlands, check the separate parent-and-child identification list. If application fees remain unpaid, pay the full outstanding amount at the desk: debit/contactless is preferred, cash is possible, and credit cards are not accepted. For the photo, avoid completely white or light-grey clothing because the background is light grey. A religious or philosophical head covering may remain on if the face is visible; the IND (Dutch immigration service) recommends plain material in a darker colour without reflective parts.
