Refugee Passport

You apply for this passport if you have refugee status. A refugee passport allows you to travel to all countries except your country of origin.

If you do not have refugee status, do not apply for a refugee passport but for an Alien's passport with the municipality.

You must always apply for and pick up a passport in person. This also applies to children.

Children under 18 can apply for a passport by themselves. They need permission of all persons with parental authority. Please use the form below:
