Make an appointment at the municipality
The municipality works by appointment.
A maximum of 30 people (including children) are allowed in the municipality’s publicly accessible spaces, such as the Atrium of City Hall Spui. Come to the appointment alone unless it is not possible otherwise.
Make your own appointment
Commercial parties are offering a paid service for making an appointment at the municipality. The municipality is strongly advising against using this service because of the costs and because you are putting your personal information at risk. Making an appointment at the municipality yourself is free and easy and your information remains secure. Look for more information on the page Take no risk: make your own appointment at the municipality.
In order to serve The Hague’s more than 500,000 inhabitants, the municipality is working by appointment. The municipality can then reserve time for you and you can be certain that you will be served quickly.

- arrive on time for your appointment

You can make an appointment on the website. First visit the page of the product you are requesting and then click on the appointment button on that page.
If you are not able to get an appointment on time through the website, you can call the municipality on tel. 14070. Call agents will check whether it is necessary to get an earlier appointment.
Collecting a document without an appointment
You do not have to make an appointment to pick up your new Dutch passport, identity card or driving licence. You can collect your document by showing your pick-up receipt and valid form of identification at the city office where you applied for it.
