Municipality of Utrecht: applying for a new passport or renewing your old one
Please note. You can only apply for or renew a passport if you live in the Netherlands and are registered with a municipality.
- All travel documents (passport and ID card) you have now, even if they have already expired.
- A coloured passport photo that meets the requirements for passport photos. The passport photo that closely resembles you may not be more than 6 months old at the time of the application. It's impossible to have a passport photo taken at the municipality.
- A debit card or cash. You pay directly with the application.
- Minors need written permission when applying for a travel document.
You apply for a passport in person at the municipality in which you live. Make an appointment to apply for a passport.

- Adults: € 83,85
- Children up to the age of 18: € 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.
