In some countries, you can also apply for a Dutch identity card at the embassy or consulate - as long as you reside in the territory served by the embassy or consulate and are not listed on a municipal population register in the Netherlands. You may have both a Dutch passport and identity card. An identity card is cheaper than a passport, but is not accepted as a valid travel document in every country in the world. You must appear in person at the embassy or consulate to apply for a Dutch travel document and - aside from in exceptional cases - to collect it.

When a passport or identity card is lost or stolen while the person is on holiday in the Czech Republic it is advised to report this to the police, also for insurance purposes. Inform the Embassy or a consulate by telephone or email as soon as possible. If the applicant needs to travel urgently one can submit an application for an emergency travel document (on workdays). The applicant's personal data will have to be checked with the issuing authority if the passport or identity card that was lost or stolen was not issued by the Dutch embassy in Prague. This means that it will not always be possible to issue the emergency travel document on the day of the application.

Dutch nationals who reside abroad are not obliged to register with the Dutch mission. Registration is voluntary. The mission will not register your details if, for instance, you come to apply for a new passport. If you are no longer registered with the Dutch municipal personal records database (GBA), you are expected to register with the foreign municipality where you reside. You will not be registered for this unless you give the mission explicit consent.

Holders of an EEA (EU Member States, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) or Swiss passport do not require a visa. Nationals from EU-countries as well as Switzerland and Liechtenstein may stay for an unlimited time. Holders of Czech Passports (European Union) do not need a visa for Netherlands. There are no restrictions on the remaining validity of ones passport, providing the traveler leaves Netherlands before its expiry date.
