payment and the submission of an incomplete application may slow
down the handling of the application.

the EU Member States: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Germany,
Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the
Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Spain,

Exception: Dutch nationals
Although Dutch nationals are also nationals of the Union, you cannot
use this form if you want to stay in the Netherlands as a family member
or relative of a Dutch national. There is one exception to this, namely:
You are a family member or relative of a Dutch national; and
The Dutch national with whom you wish to stay resided previously
in another EU/EEA Member State or in Switzerland under EU Law (as
an employee, a self-employed person, a student, or an economically
non-active person); and
You stayed with the Dutch national in the other EU/EEA Member State
or in Switzerland, and
The Dutch national currently lives in the Netherlands again.
If this exception applies to you, you can still use this form.
Application costs (charges)
Applying for certificate of lawful residence costs money. These costs must
be paid the moment you submit the application. The costs depend on
the purpose of stay for which you submit an application. This form does
not include any information about the costs or a possible exemption
from paying charges. If you want to be informed of the costs in advance,
please visit www.ind.nl or call 0900 1234561 ( 0.10 per minute plus
any additional costs charged by your operator if you are calling from a
mobile phone). If the assessment of your application shows that you do
not qualify for the requested certificate of lawful residence, the money
will not be refunded.
New passport photo, signature, and Appendix Photo Card
This form must be accompanied by a Photo Card, which is necessary for
making your residence permit. Please place your colour passport photo
and your signature on this Photo Card. The passport photo will be placed
on a chip on the residence permit. Your signature will also be included
on the residence permit.
Requirements of the colour passport photo
Your colour passport photo, which you must place on the enclosed
Photo Card, must meet the following requirements:
Your passport photo may not have been used for a residence permit
before and it must bear a clear resemblance.
In addition, your passport photo must meet the Dutch passport
requirements. You can find these requirements at
www.paspoortinformatie.nl/nederlands/reisdocumenten/pasfoto.
If your passport photo does not meet these requirements, it will not be
possible to make a residence permit and issue it to you. So it is important that you send along a proper passport photo. Always have a new passport photo made by a professional photographer who is familiar with
the applicable requirements for passport photos in the Netherlands.
Signature requirement
Each person from 12 years or older must place his/her signature on the
Photo Card himself/herself.
Bring the Photo Card along when you are submitting your application.
Border-crossing document
When you are going to submit your application, you must also bring
along your border-crossing document (e.g. your passport). A sticker will
be affixed to this document and a copy will be made of it. This copy will
be added to your application.
What will happen with your application?
Once you have submitted your application at one of the IND desks
and you have paid the application costs (charges), your application
will be assessed by the IND. If your application is not complete it cannot
be assessed properly. Non-payment or overdue payment and the
submission of an incomplete application may slow down the handling
of the application. According to the law, the IND must make a decision
on your application within 6 months. You will receive a written notice
when the handling of your application has been completed. When your
application is granted, you will receive a letter with information about
where you can pick up your residence document.
Foreign documents
Any official foreign documents about persons that are required for
the application must have been legalised or provided with an Apostille
stamp by the competent authorities of the issuing country.
This may relate to documents such as birth certificates, certificates of
unmarried status (not older than 6 months), marriage certificates,
and court decisions regarding adoption and guardianship.
This may take a great deal of time. We therefore advise you to have the
relevant documents legalised or provided with an Apostille stamp in
the country of origin several months before submitting the application.
For more information about legalisation or Apostille requirements
for documents for each country and any exceptions to this, please call
the public information line of the Ministry of General Affairs at
+31 77 465 6767, or at 1400 from inside the Netherlands, or send an
e-mail to info.consulair@minbuza.nl or see www.rijksoverheid.nl.
Language of the documents to be enclosed
All documents must have been drawn up in Dutch, English, French,
or German. If this is not the case, you must have your document(s)
translated by a translator who has been sworn in as a translator by the
Dutch court. Hand in the translation(s) of the document(s) together
with the application at the IND desk. If you do not have the document(s)
translated in the Netherlands by a translator who has been sworn in as a
translator by the Dutch court, but abroad, not only the document,
but also the translation must have been legalised or provided with an
Apostille stamp by the competent authorities of the issuing country.
Work permit
If you want to work as an employee, you will often need a work permit.
For more information, please contact UWV WERKbedrijf (which is
the work placement division of the Netherlands Employees Insurance
Agency) at www.werk.nl.

to inform you that the IND is the organisation which processes the data
in your application. The IND does this to be able to process your request
or application. If you have any questions regarding the data processing
procedure you can submit them in writing to the IND, Postbus 287,
7600 AG Almelo. This is the department you must contact if you would

removed or blocked.

Appendix Passport Photo Form
The Passport Photo
Stick a new and unused passport photo on the designated frame at the bottom of
this page. If the application is meant for your child, please use a new and unused
passport photo of your child. Your passport photo has to meet the Dutch passport
requirements. Always have your passport photo made by a professional
photographer who is acquainted with the Dutch passport requirements.
No residence document can be issued to you if your passport photo does not meet
the Dutch passport requirements. It is therefore very important to supply a good
passport photo with this form.
De pasfoto
Onder aan deze pagina moet u een nieuwe, nog niet eerder gebruikte
pasfoto van uzelf plakken. Als de aanvraag bedoeld is voor uw kind,
dan moet u een nieuwe, nog niet eerder gebruikte pasfoto van uw kind
plakken. Uw pasfoto moet voldoen aan de Nederlandse paspoorteisen.
Laat daarom altijd een nieuwe pasfoto maken door een beroeps
fotograaf die bekend is met de eisen die in Nederland aan pasfotos
worden gesteld. Als uw pasfoto niet aan de Nederlandse paspoorteisen
voldoet, kan er geen verblijfsdocument aan u worden uitgereikt. Het is
dus belangrijk dat u een goede pasfoto meestuurt.
