Lost / Stolen

Oh no, has your student residence permit been lost or stolen?!

Here’s what you have to do:

Procedure

1. File a police report.
   • Report the loss to the police and obtain an official police report. You can reach them at 0900-8844. The police will give you a certified copy of the official report. You need this official police report to apply for a new residence permit.
      
2. Apply for the right kind of replacement. See below.
    
3. Contact the IND at 088-0430430 for personal advice on the matter – this way you can be sure which procedure is the most appropriate for your situation.
    

Replacement of your permit

Getting a new residence permit depends on the expiry date of the permit you lost:

• If the residence permit you lost was still valid for longer than three months, we advise you to apply for a replacement of your permit.
  • You can apply for a replacement directly with the IND; EUR is not involved in the process.
  • The form you need to submit is available on the IND website.
  • You may contact the IND for an appointment for submitting your completed application by calling: 088-0430430.
  • The costs for this procedure are € 164.
    • Your insurance may cover these costs; please contact your insurance provider for details.
       

• In case you lost your permit but will be leaving soon please inform Team Immigration.

   

• If the residence permit you lost would have expired within three months, and you are continuing your studies at EUR after the expiry date of your (lost or stolen) permit.
  • We advise you to apply for an extension of your residence permit instead of a replacement.
    • Please note your registration at EUR for the next academic year must be complete at the time of the application for an extension.
