You need to complete the application form if you want to apply for a new passport or ID card. If you live abroad, the Dutch government may not necessarily have your current details. You must therefore complete the form to apply from abroad. You need to complete the form every time you submit a new application. In addition to the form, you will also need other documents with your application. Once you have all these documents you can make an appointment.
