Where can I apply for or renew a Dutch passport or ID card in Canada

Are you a Dutch national? If you want to apply for or renew a Dutch passport or ID card and you live in Canada, you can do this at the Dutch embassy in Ottawa, the consulate-generals in Vancouver or Toronto or at one of the three VFS Global application locations in Canada.

You can apply for or renew a Dutch passport or ID card at the Dutch embassy in Ottawa.

Attention: The embassy processes a large number of applications, which means you may not be able to make an appointment right away. If you are not able to make an appointment, try again later, as slots may become available due to cancellations or re-scheduling.

If you can’t make an appointment as fast as you need to, or if you don’t want to wait any longer, you can make an appointment at the consulate-general in Toronto or Vancouver. Or you can make an appointment at VFS Global. VFS Global has appointment locations in Vancouver, Edmonton and Toronto.

You can also apply for or renew a Dutch passport or ID card via VFS Global in Vancouver, Edmonton or Toronto.

VFS Global is a company that deals with applications for Dutch passports and ID cards for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. VFS Global will take your fingerprints and accept your application form, but it will not decide on your application.
