Check your passport, ID card and driver's licence
Are you going on holiday this year? Make sure to check in time whether your passport, ID card and driver's licence are still valid.
Do you need to renew them? Make an appointment in good time.
We notice that the schedule fills up quickly, so don't wait too long. Calling us to make an appointment does not speed up the process; we use the same online appointment module as you do.
After applying, it takes 5 working days for your travel document to be ready. Due to the holiday rush, it may take a little longer. We recommend allowing at least 7 working days. You can then make a new appointment to collect it.
