Appointment to collect residence document

Last update: 10 September 2024

On this page you make an appointment at an IND desk to collect your residence document. You can also make an appointment to collect your EU registration card, statelessness document or original document (such as a passport or birth certificate).

Make an appointment when your document is ready

There are 3 ways to get notified where you have to pick up your document:

The letter states that your document is ready and at which IND desk you have to pick up your document.

My IND states that your document is ready. Choose your place of residence in the loketwijzer to check at which IND desk you have to pick up your document. Do schedule an appointment at another desk than stated in the letter or loketwijzer? Then we will cancel your appointment.
By SMS
The text message states that your Foreign Nationals Identity Document Type W is ready. And where you have to pick up your document.
