My passport or ID-card is lost or stolen

If your Dutch passport or identity card is lost or stolen, you do not need to go to the police but to the municipality in which you live. You can choose whether you want to register the loss and apply for a new document immediately, or if you only want to register the loss without applying for a new document.

If you want to apply for a new passport or ID card, your stolen or lost travel document will be reported missing during the application process. You can start the application for a new passport or ID card directly on our website.
