Applying for a new passport or renewing your old one in the Netherlands

• Do you hold Dutch citizenship? Then you can apply or renew at your municipality. 
• Do you hold Dutch citizenship, but have no fixed place of residence? Then you can contact a Dutch border municipality to apply for a new passport or to renew your old one.
• Do you not hold Dutch citizenship? Visit your own embassy or consulate for a passport. 
• Do you live in the Netherlands on a valid residence permit? Are you unable to get a passport from your country of origin? Then you can apply for a vreemdelingenpaspoort (alien passport) at your municipality. 
• Do you live in the Netherlands as an erkend vluchteling (recognised refugee)? Then you can apply for a vluchtelingenpaspoort (refugee passport) at your municipality.
