Applying for a second passport in the Netherlands

Are you a citizen of the Netherlands and do you need an additional Dutch passport for your travels? You can apply for one from the municipality where you live. However, additional passports are subject to conditions.

You can use a second passport if:

You travel to different countries that are in conflict with one another. Do you have a stamp from the first country in your passport? If so, you may not be able to enter the other country. A second passport can help you in such a case. The Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken – BZK (Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations) provides a list of countries in conflict (in Dutch).
You often need a visa for the countries to which you travel. Suppose your passport is at an embassy for the purpose of a visa application. Without a second passport, you will not be able to travel outside the Netherlands.

You can obtain an additional Dutch passport if:

Your first and current passport is valid for at least another 6 months;
You can demonstrate that you need a second passport. Ask your municipality, embassy or consulate what evidence you need to present.

Do you live in the Netherlands? If so, you can apply for a second Dutch passport from the municipality where you live.
