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

To apply for a passport for children under the age of 18, a completed and signed consent form is required.

To apply for a passport, you have to make an appointment. The appointment and application take place at the Civil Affairs counter.

After around a week, you can collect your passport yourself from the municipality. This also applies to children up to the age of 18. When you apply, you will be provided with more information about how to collect your passport.

Do you need your passport sooner than that?
