Passport

Passports were valid for 10 years instead of five years for the first time in 2014. Many people then waited for a new pasport because it is valid for longer. Moreover, people only had to apply for a new one after 10 years. As a result, the demand for new passports was very low over the past five years. Therefore, we expect many requests in the coming period.

You can make your application in 2 ways:

1. Start your application digitally. This will save you time at the counter at the City Office. You log in with your Digid and pay for your passport directly online. You then make an appointment to complete your application at the City Office.
2. Complete your application at the City Office
   You make an appointment to complete the entire application with us at the counter at the City Office. You also pay at the counter.

Start your application digitally

Step 1 - Start application with your DigiD

Click on the 'Start application' button. Log in with your DigiD and pay for your passport.

Step 2 - Make an appointment

Children up to the age of 18 years need permission from both parents or the person(s) who has custody of the child to apply for a passport. You give consent easily and quickly with your DigiD via this form.

Please note: if you apply for the passport for your child(ren), your child must be present at the appointment at the desk and at the moment when you pick up the passport.

Do you need a passport urgently? If so, call us on 14 0113 to make an appointment. If you make an urgent application, you will not be able to start and pay for the application digitally. This is because we then want to help you as quickly as possible and cannot waste time. There are additional costs associated with an urgent request.

Are you traveling abroad with your child? Then your child must have their own passport or identity card. Does your child have a different surname than you? Then you need proof that you are the father or mother or have parental authority. Do you not have parental authority over the child? Then use the form for traveling abroad with a minor. This shows that you have received permission from the person(s) who have custody of the child.

If your passport is lost or stolen, report this as soon as possible to prevent misuse. This will be processed immediately if you report the missing digitally with DigiD. If you are unable or unwilling to do so, you can report the missing at the reception during an appointment, please make sure that you indicate this when making the appointment. Lost your passport abroad? Then first report this to the local police. You then report the loss digitally with DigiD or during an appointment at the desk. If your passport is missing and you want to make an urgent application, keep in mind that this will probably take a little longer. Are you leaving today?
