Passport or identity card for Dutch citizens living abroad
Do you live abroad and have Dutch nationality? Then you can apply for your Dutch passport and/or identity card at a border municipality. This is also possible in Heerlen. First fill in the checklist at Nederlandwereldwijd . Keep the checklist and all documents handy when filling in the web form. Fill in a separate form for each person.
Have we assessed your application and are all the documents included? If so, one of our staff members will contact you to make an appointment. If your application is incomplete, the assessment will take longer.
Please note
We are currently experiencing high demand. It may take longer than usual for us to contact you.
Approach
Fill in the checklist
First, create an account via Nederlandwereldwijd . Once you have completed it, you will receive an overview of the documents you need. Scan these documents and save them before you start filling in the web form.
At the end of the web form, upload:
- the checklist
- the documents from the overview
- a copy of your ID
Counter appointment
Have we made an appointment with you at the counter? If so, please bring all original documents and a passport photo (no older than 6 months). The passport photo must comply with Dutch passport photo requirements.
