Consulate General of the United States Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Here you will read about setting an appointment online, for your visit to the Consulate in Amsterdam. You cannot set up an appointment by calling or e-mailing the Consulate. 

In the step-by-step instructions for each service you will find a link to a separate appointment website. Click on that link and choose a date and time for you to come in. For a passport appointment for instance, you go to our passport services pages, and for a notarial to our notarial services page. Making, changing, or canceling an appointment is free of charge.  After you have set up your appointment you get a page with an individual appointment identification number and password. PRINT THAT PAGE as you need it to change or cancel your appointment should you have to do so. Appointments may be scheduled three months in advance.

From the left menu you can pick the service you require.

After setting up your appointment please don't forget to proceed with the remaining instructions for your service, so you can prepare for your visit. Download the required forms for instance, and get the right U.S. format (2"x2") photos.

Is an separate appointment required for each person?

No, as long as all come in for the same service. When you enter our online appointment system, the second screen says that each family member should make an individual appointment for the services required.  This is NOT required for a visit to Amsterdam.  The Consulate General’s policy is to allow up to two adult family members and their children per appointment.  Simply select the service you require, and list the names of all adult family members attending the appointment or receiving consular services in the spaces provided for “non-applicants attending appointments” in the relevant screen. This is not necessary when making appointments for notarial services only. There are separate appointment calendars for passport services and notarial services. If you need two separate services, e.g. a report of birth for your child and a new passport for yourself, you must set up two appointments. Also, if you wish a passport service and a notary service you will need an appointment for each. You may of course pick a date on which you can schedule both.

Appointments are mandatory. Customers with an emergency requiring immediate attention however, e.g. when your passport is lost or stolen may be admitted during our regular working hours without an appointment but will be asked to demonstrate their emergency. Please see our contact information for details.

If you are a visitor in transit

If you are a visitor to The Netherlands in transit and have lost your passport or had it stolen, no appointment is required. You can visit the Consulate during our morning opening hours (8:30 to 11:30 A.M.). You are to bring proof of your travel, e.g. e-ticket or reservation, and your emergency, e.g. police report, with you. Please also see our Imminent Departure page on emergency passports.

For days on which we are closed, or if you have questions, please see our American Citizen Services contact information page.
