Passport or identity card for children

You and your child will visit the town hall. 

Please bring the following items with you

• A recent passport photo of your child that meets the requirements;
  Have a passport photo taken at a photographer. This person knows what the passport photo must meet. See all the requirements on the government website.  
• your child's passport and identity card;
  Bring all of your child's travel documents, even if they are expired. You do not need to bring invalidated documents (e.g. with holes).  
• debit card or cash.
  Haven't paid online yet? If so, please bring your debit card or cash.  

If both parents/guardians are coming along

• A valid travel document or driver's license from both parents/guardians.

If both parents/guardians are not accompanying the child

• A valid travel document or driver's license of the parent/guardian coming with you;
• the parent/guardian who does not attend gives prior online consent.  

You can collect the passport or identity card after 5 working days together with your child at the reception desk. This can be done without an appointment during our opening hours.

Collect your passport or identity card within 3 months. After that, it will be destroyed and you will have to reapply. 

Unable to consent online or don't have DigiD? Then print out the consent form. Complete and sign the form.  

Provide the form with a copy of your valid travel document or driver's license to the application. 

If you need a passport or ID for your child quickly, make an urgent application. To do so, make an appointment by calling 14 0511.  

If you apply for a passport before 2 p.m., you can usually pick it up the next business day from 9:30 a.m. onwards. You do have to pay extra for an urgent application.  

Emergency Passport

If you cannot use the emergency procedure, you can apply for an emergency passport for your child in special cases. An emergency passport has a limited validity and is not a proof of identity. You can apply for an emergency passport only at an emergency document issue point of the Royal Netherlands Military Constabulary. 

Please notify us as soon as possible, even if you are abroad.  

Missing

Using the button below, you can report the missing person online, even if you are abroad. This is the fastest way. 

Report missing travel document

Reporting a missing person at the front desk 

Then make an appointment to report the missing person or call 14 0511. You can also request a new travel document for your child during the appointment. 

Missing/theft abroad 

If the travel document is lost or stolen abroad, report it to the local police. With the foreign official report, you can complete the Statement of Missing Persons at the municipality after returning home and apply for a new travel document. 

Report to the Dutch embassy or consulate that your travel document has been lost or stolen and request an emergency document here.  

Travel document found again? 

Have you already reported the loss to us? Then you are obliged to hand in the old travel document to the municipality. It has been invalidated after the loss. You can therefore no longer use it once you have recovered it.

Are you traveling abroad with children? Then you need proof that you may travel with the children in the following cases:   

• They are your children, but they have a different last name than you have; 
• They are your children and you are traveling alone with them; 
• You do not have custody of your children; 
• They are not your children. 

You can find more information about traveling with children, documents you will need and a permission form on thegovernmentwebsite.
