The physical card: fingerprints, appointment and collection

Fingerprint appointment, card issue, renewal on expiry and duplicates after loss, theft or a change of details.

Foreigner ID card: issue, renewal and duplicate

What is included

  • Booking the fingerprint appointment at the right police station
  • Preparing the fee form and the exact documents required
  • Following up to collection of the card

What is included and what is not promised

The permit granted and the physical card are two different things, and the second has its own appointment, fee and queue. Someone with a favourable decision and no appointment still cannot prove anything.

What it includes: booking the fingerprint appointment at the right police station; preparing the fee form and the exact documents required; following up to collection of the card. What it does not include: it does not include the fee itself, which is a disbursement in your name, and we cannot create appointments where the station offers none.

Documents you will need

  • The favourable decision on your permit.
  • Full valid passport.
  • Three passport photographs on a white background.
  • Up-to-date municipal registration certificate.

Indicative timing

We answer your enquiry within 1 working day and send the written quote within 2 working days.

Once your documents are complete, we prepare the file between 1 and 4 working days.

Collection depends on appointment availability at each police station, which varies greatly by province.

See the pricing page for how we charge this kind of matter.

How it works

Estimated duration: 4 days.

  1. We identify the exact procedure

    We tell you whether you need an issue, a renewal or a duplicate of the card and which police station applies to your address.

  2. Document list and quote

    We ask for the permit decision, a photo in the official format and the municipal registration. Price agreed, fee apart.

  3. Filing and receipt

    We prepare the fee form, pay it on your behalf and arrange the fingerprint appointment.

  4. Tracking and corrections

    We tell you when to collect the card and keep the receipt in case you need it to travel in the meantime.
