    Residence Permit lost or stolen?

    What to do when your card is lost or stolen

    Your Dutch study residence permit card is the property of the Dutch Immigration Office (IND). You therefore need to take good care of it. However, if your residence permit card is lost or stolen during your stay, then you need to follow the following steps.

    Step 1: File a police report

    Step 2. Apply for the replacement of your residence permit

    You will need to apply for the replacement of your residence permit yourself. The university is not involved in the process. The application form and information about the cost of the application can be found on the IND's website. The IND will aim to process your application within 8 weeks.

    Step 3. Collect your new residence permit.

    The IND will try to have your new residence permit card ready for you within 2 weeks after approving your application. You will receive a letter to inform you that your new residence permit is ready for you to collect. To collect the new residence permit from the IND, you will have to make an appointment online. You pay the costs for the application at the IND desk when collecting the new residence permit card.
