Substitute court permission to apply for a foreign ID for your child in The Netherlands
When parents separate, they face not only emotional or financial issues, but sometimes also legal problems. If the child has a different nationality or a second nationality besides the Dutch nationality, this can pose specific challenges. For example, when one parent wants to apply for a foreign passport or ID card for a child, but cannot obtain the other parent's consent. In such cases, the Dutch courts offer a solution: judicial permission for the parent to apply for the document, substituting the other parent’s consent.
