Book an Appointment

Appointments can only be booked via our website – not by phone or email. If the booking page says “no available appointments at the moment,” it means there are currently no bookable slots. New appointments are published on the 14th every third month.

Due to high demand at the passport section, waiting times are currently long. Cancellations occur frequently, so we recommend checking the booking page regularly. If you are unable to attend your booked appointment, we kindly ask you to cancel it using the link provided in your booking confirmation email.

Collecting Your Passport

Passport collection takes place during the reception’s specific opening hours for passport pick-up (opens in a new tab), no appointment required. If your old passport is still valid when collecting the new one, you must bring it with you. The new passport must be collected within 6 months.
