For children under the age of 18: permission for a travel document

For a passport for children under the age of 18, both parents must give permission. If a parent does not have authority, he or she does not have to give permission. If someone else has authority over your child, this authority holder must give written permission. Under unchanged circumstances, the permission is valid for 3 months.

You can give permission in two ways:

1. Give permission with DigiD. If you have completed the consent form online, it is not necessary to bring a valid proof of identity from parents/guardians.
2. Give permission at the counter. You must bring the following:

• A completed permission form for a minor's travel document
• Valid proof of identity from parents or from the person who has custody.
• When applying for and collecting a document, the child and at least one parent must be present. From the age of 12, the child can collect the passport independently.

You must apply for a passport in person at the municipality where you live. Make an appointment to apply for a passport.
