CONSULAR MANAGEMENT

REGISTRATION:

Consular registration is an essential step for any citizen regularly established in a consular district and constitutes a prerequisite for obtaining any civil status, travel or other document.

It enables:

  • To identify and locate all Algerian nationals established in the consular district;
  • Algerian nationals residing in the consular district to benefit from consular protection and documents (consular registration card, Algerian national identity card, passport, etc.).

The files to provide for a first registration

  • Registration Application Form (download here) duly completed, dated and signed;
  • A copy of the Algerian identity document (Algerian national identity card, national service card);
  • A copy of the first page of the passport plus the page with the entry visa for the Netherlands;
  • An extract from the birth certificate of the person concerned (in Arabic);
  • An extract from the father’s birth certificate for applicants born in Algeria;
  • Birth certificate of both ascendants in the paternal line for Algerians born abroad;
  • A marriage certificate or copy of the family book for married people;
  • Regular residence card in the Netherlands (or Dutch ID);
  • Certificate of registration at the town hall of residence (less than three (03) months old);
  • Four (04) recent passport photos of the same size;
  • Proof of profession (or school certificate for students).

The spouse and minor children born to an Algerian father or Algerian mother are registered on a subsidiary basis. The spouse must present the same documents listed above.

Note: The validity period of the consular registration card is fixed at five years. It is free of charge.

Return the old consular registration card and provide two recent photos of the front and of the same print.

CONSULAR RE-REGISTRATION

Citizens who have been granted a certificate of change of residence (C.C.R.) or who have applied for de-registration and who move back to the Netherlands, will be re-registered under the same conditions as the first consular registration.
