Municipality of Amstelveen: applying for a new passport or renewing your old one

• A colour passport photo that meets the national passport photo requirements (in Dutch). 
• Your passport and identity card, even if they have expired. 
• If you are applying for a passport for your child(ren), they must come with you when applying for and collecting the passport. You must bring a valid passport, identity card or driving licence. A copy is not permitted. For children up to and including 17 years of age, both parents/guardians must give their written permission. A declaration of consent (in Dutch) must be filled out by both parents in advance.

You must apply for a passport in person at the Town Hall. For this, you will need to make an appointment (in Dutch) online in advance.

You pay a fee for this service. For more information, please visit the Amstelveen municipality website.

The new passport will be ready for you to collect after 5 working days for a maximum of 3 months. You can collect your passport without making an appointment at the Town Hall.  

Do you need your passport sooner?

• If you need your passport urgently, you can make a spoedaanvraag (urgent request). If you apply for the passport before 14:00, you will be able to collect within 2 working days. Allow for some delay if you no longer have your old passport. 
• If you need the passport today, contact the Koninklijke Marechaussee (Royal Netherlands Marechaussee) for an emergency passport.
