How to submit?

1. Gather the documents

You attach these documents to your application:

  • National ID card (front and back) or passport (biodata page)
  • Residence card (front and back), annex 19 (front and back), annex 19ter, annex 15 or annex 49
  • The documents which are missing in your file

Important:

  • Attach the documents in pdf format and in colour.
  • Upload the documents consisting of several pages or belonging together as 1 file
    E.g.:
    • Several pay slips as 1 proof of financial means
    • The original marriage certificate with accompanying translation and legalisation as 1 proof of the relationship
  • If several documents are missing, add them as separate files.
    E.g.:
    • Proof of financial means and proof of health insurance as 2 missing documents

Foreign documents: translation and legalisation
We only accept documents drawn up in or translated into Dutch, French, German or English. Some official documents which have been drawn up abroad furthermore require legalisation. Read the rules on translation and legalisation of documents. This prevents us from having to reject your documents, thereby delaying your application.

2. Complete your file

Are your completing a file for more than one person? Then you complete the form for each person separately.
