About
About the Dutch Honorary Consulate in Brisbane
Marjon Wind is officially listed as the Honorary Consul of the Netherlands in Brisbane.
Honorary consuls provide local representation within the Netherlands‘ diplomatic network abroad.
Their activities may include maintaining contact with local institutions, businesses, public authorities and communities.
The Dutch government describes honorary consuls as an important link in promoting trade and investment and assisting Dutch nationals abroad within the limits of their role.
Dutch-Australian Relations
The Netherlands and Australia maintain longstanding economic, diplomatic and cultural relations.
Businesses and institutions in both countries cooperate in areas including technology, research, transport, agriculture and sustainable development.
Brisbane’s position as the capital of Queensland makes it relevant to international partnerships involving government, industry and research organisations.
Business and Investment
Queensland has economic activities spanning energy, agriculture, tourism, mining, manufacturing, infrastructure and professional services.
Potential cooperation with Dutch organisations may involve engineering, food technology, industrial equipment, logistics and sustainable business practices.
Specific business introductions or representative assistance should be discussed through the appropriate official channels.
Water Management and Resilience
Queensland’s climate and geographic diversity make water management, infrastructure planning and environmental resilience important areas of interest.
Dutch organisations have experience in flood management, water engineering, urban design and infrastructure.
These fields may support opportunities for knowledge exchange between Australian and Dutch institutions.
Individual projects are arranged by participating organisations and are not routine services of the honorary consulate.
Education and Research
Brisbane is home to universities, research institutions and businesses with international academic relationships.
Potential cooperation with Dutch organisations may involve medical research, environmental science, engineering, agriculture and technology.
The honorary consul can be an appropriate local representative contact for suitable institutional enquiries.
Assistance to Dutch Nationals
Dutch citizens in Queensland may require official government documents, certificates or assistance following an emergency while abroad.
Formal consular services are handled through the Dutch Consulate-General in Sydney and authorised providers such as VFS Global.
Brisbane residents can use VFS Global locally for eligible passport and identity card applications, but must follow the separate government application procedure.
The honorary consul does not independently issue Dutch travel documents or visas.
Consular Services
Dutch Passport, Identity Card and Consular Services in Brisbane
Residents of Brisbane and Queensland can access several Dutch government services in Australia.
It is important to distinguish services provided by the Dutch Honorary Consulate from those handled by VFS Global or the Consulate-General in Sydney.
Passport and ID Card Applications
Eligible Dutch passport and identity card applications can be submitted through VFS Global Brisbane, by appointment.
Passport Delivery
Completed Dutch passports can be sent using approved Australia Post services. Identity cards cannot be delivered by post.
Emergency Travel Documents
Emergency Dutch travel document requests are handled by the Consulate-General in Sydney.
Applying for a Dutch Passport or Identity Card in Brisbane
If you live in Queensland and need a new Dutch passport or identity card, begin with the official NetherlandsWorldwide application guide for Australia.
Create a personal document checklist for your individual circumstances.
Prepare a separate checklist for each applicant, including children.
The checklist identifies your required application form, identity documents and supporting certificates.
VFS Global Brisbane
VFS Global is an external service provider authorised to receive eligible Dutch passport and identity card applications.
It operates a passport and identity card application service in Brisbane, separate from the Dutch honorary consulate.
To apply, complete the Dutch government application form online, print and sign it, and make an appointment through the authorised VFS Global booking system.
An additional VFS Global service fee applies on top of the standard consular application fee.
For the current fee and payment arrangements, consult the official NetherlandsWorldwide information before booking.
Family Applications at VFS Global Brisbane
If several family members wish to submit applications at the same time, NetherlandsWorldwide provides a dedicated email address:
Use this address for simultaneous family application appointment arrangements.
Each applicant must have a separate personal document checklist and application documents.
Every applicant must attend in person, including children.
Other Passport Application Locations in Australia
The official application guide also lists:
- Consulate-General of the Netherlands in Sydney.
- VFS Global in Melbourne.
- VFS Global in Perth.
Applicants who qualify may also submit a Dutch passport or identity card application at a participating border municipality in the Netherlands.
Lost Passport Without a Photocopy
If your Dutch passport or identity card has been lost or stolen and you do not have a photocopy, the official procedure does not permit you to submit a replacement application through VFS Global.
In that situation, arrange an appointment at the Dutch Consulate-General in Sydney.
If you must travel urgently, use the emergency travel document procedure instead.
Documents Required for a Passport Application
Your personal checklist determines the exact requirements. Depending on your circumstances, documents may include:
- A completed, printed and signed passport or identity card application form.
- The printed personal document checklist.
- Current and expired Dutch and foreign passports and identity cards.
- Acceptable evidence of legal residence.
- Required birth, marriage or other civil-status documents.
- Legalised records and translations when applicable.
- Parental or guardian consent documents for minor applicants where required.
- A passport photograph meeting Dutch requirements.
Missing mandatory documents may prevent an application from being accepted.
Applying for Children
Children must attend Dutch passport or identity card application appointments in person.
Parental or guardian consent requirements may apply to passport applications for children under 18 and identity card applications for children under 12.
If a required parent or guardian cannot attend, a signed consent declaration and a dated, signed copy of their passport or identity card may be necessary.
Check the child’s personal document checklist for the exact requirements.
Keeping Your Existing Passport
If you need your current passport or identity card while a replacement is being processed, you may be able to retain it temporarily.
When collecting the replacement in person, the previous document must be handed in.
If the new passport is to be posted, the existing document must first be submitted to the responsible consular office as instructed.
This may mean spending a period without your existing passport.
If it contains a valid visa or residence permit, inform the consular staff before handing it in.
Collecting Your New Passport or Identity Card in Sydney
NetherlandsWorldwide states that documents can be collected from the Dutch Consulate-General in Sydney after the applicant receives notification that they are ready.
The published collection times are:

Under the official Australia procedure, a completed Dutch passport may be sent to an eligible Australian delivery address through registered post or Express Post.
For registered post, bring a self-addressed A4 registered-post envelope to the application appointment.
A maximum of four passports can be placed in one envelope.
For Express Post, use the required Australia Post envelope with a signature-on-delivery sticker.
The applicant pays postage costs, accepts the relevant delivery risks and must sign for delivery.
Confirm the arrangements with the application office before submitting your documents.
Can a Dutch Identity Card Be Posted?
No. NetherlandsWorldwide states that a new Dutch identity card cannot be sent by post in Australia.
The identity card must be collected from the Consulate-General in Sydney.
Important: although eligible passport and identity card applications can be submitted at VFS Global Brisbane, the collection and delivery rules are different. New Dutch passports may be sent by approved postal services; new Dutch identity cards must be collected in Sydney.

A pre-printed certificate may be signed and stamped at a Centrelink Service Centre.
The Dutch Consulate-General in Sydney can also handle eligible certificate-of-life requests by appointment.
