Gather the necessary documentation
The Embassy knows that many find it difficult to determine exactly which documents they need to apply. We have therefore created four different documents guides/questionarees that will produse a uniqe document check-list based on your answers.
It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that they have the correct documents. If the applicant is a minor, it is their parents responsibility to ensure that they have the correct documents. The Embassy does not accept responsibility for any cost incurred as a result of missing documents or providing incorrect information.
NB! These questionarees are only guides; depending on you/your child's specific situation, we may request additional documents, or we may be unable to take the application. The Tax Administration may also request further documentation if deemed necessary due to individual circumstances. The Embassy does not accept responsibility for any cost incurred as a result of missing documents or providing incorrect information.

Applications for passport
Applications for personal numbers for minors under the age of 10 must be lodged together with an application for passport.
For persons aged 10 years and older, personal numbers must be obtained before a passport application can be lodged. This will require a second visit to the embassy.
