Municipality of Eindhoven: applying for Dutch citizenship by naturalisation

If you meet the conditions, you can make an appointment for your naturalisation application.

For the costs, see becoming a Dutch citizen under the heading 'What does it cost to become a Dutch citizen?' Use Google to translate this website, at the top right corner (globe icon).

• The municipality assesses whether you meet all conditions for naturalisation and provides the Immigratie- en Naturalisatiedienst – IND (Immigration and Naturalisation Service) with advice. The municipality sends your file to the IND.
• The IND checks whether you meet all conditions and takes a decision. The IND must take a decision within 12 months. If you have any questions about the application in the meantime, you can contact the IND.
• You officially become a Dutch citizen only after the naturalisation ceremony.
• You can apply for a Dutch travel document 1 week after the naturalisation ceremony.
