What identity documents can I use for identification?

For Dutch proofs of identity, a passport, ID card or driving license can be used.
For proofs of identity issued within the EU, a passport or ID card can be used. A non-Dutch driver's license cannot be used.
For proofs of identity issued outside the EU, a passport should always be used.


Not all identification documents with a non-Dutch nationality have an NFC chip. For an overview of identification documents with a non-Dutch nationality with or without an NFC chip, click here.
