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.

You have 3 months in which to collect your new passport.

Do you need your passport sooner than that?

• If you need your passport quickly, you can make a spoedaanvraag (urgent request). If you call us before 15.00 o'clock, we will make an appointment for the next working day. The working day after that you will be able to collect your passport. 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.

Validity

• An adult passport is valid for 10 years.
• For children up to the age of 18, a passport is valid for 5 years.
