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

Please bring the following with you when you come to apply for your passport:

• All travel documents in your possession. Also the document that needs to be replaced.
• 1 recent color passport photo that meets the passport photo requirements.
• Are you applying for a passport for a child under the age of 18? Then additional conditions apply.

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

Applying for a passport costs money. For an adult, the application costs € 83.85. For children up to 18 years old, the application costs € 63.40.

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 apply for the passport before 14:00, you will be able to collect it the next working day. 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.
