Wijziging van de Paspoortwet in verband met het vervallen van de mogelijkheid tot bijschrijving van kinderen

Stage otherUpdated 6d ago

This Dutch bill amends the Passport Act (Paspoortwet) to remove the option of adding children to a parent's passport. Under the current rules, a child can be entered in a parent's passport, which allows the child to travel on that document. The bill would end this possibility, so children would need their own passport or identity document. This is based on the title only, not the full legislative text, so the exact transition arrangements and reasons are not confirmed here. Parents in the Netherlands who travel with children would be most directly affected, since they would no longer be able to use a shared parental passport for their children. Passport offices and the rules for children's travel documents would also be affected.
