  "description": "Apply for a first Dutch passport or renew an existing one in person at the applicant's municipality (gemeente) passport desk (Burgerzaken), under the Paspoortwet 1991 and the Paspoortuitvoeringsregeling Nederland (PUN), for which the Rijksdienst voor Identiteitsgegevens (RvIG) sets the nationally standardised data and process requirements on behalf of the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations (BZK). There is no online submission channel for the application itself: the applicant (and, for a minor, at least one parent/guardian) must attend in person, presenting an identity document and giving fingerprints (age 12+) that are checked against the municipality's population register (Basisregistratie Personen, BRP), which already holds the applicant's core personal data. Some municipalities let an applicant pre-fill the same data online via DigiD ahead of the appointment, but this does not replace the in-person biometric capture. This document models the citizenship and registration eligibility gates, the applicant's core identifying data, the minor/guardian consent path (including the case where a co-holder of parental authority cannot attend in person), and the service options every applicant chooses (processing speed and delivery method). It does not model: the Nederlandse identiteitskaart (national identity card, a related but distinct product with its own GovSchema document), the nooddocument (emergency travel document) or alien/refugee passport processes, the Verklaring van Nederlanderschap (Dutch nationality certificate), or fee amounts, which vary by age tier and change over time and are deliberately not encoded here as a single authoritative figure, consistent with de/bmi/passport-application. It does not submit the application; the live gemeente and rijksoverheid.nl sources are always authoritative — see VERIFICATION.md.",

Cross-checked against rijksoverheid.nl's national Q&A page on where and how to apply, which independently corroborates the mandatory in-person attendance, the documents to bring, and the ~5-working-day standard processing time, and confirms the process is identical nationwide regardless of which gemeente the applicant is registered in — the same convention nl/rdw/drivers-licence-renewal and de/bmi/passport-application applied to their own municipality-administered-but-nationally-regulated processes. The minor-consent fields are additionally cross-checked directly against the national consent form's own bilingual (Dutch/English) field text, extracted from the published PDF (Stcrt. 2008, nr. 115) via a zlib-stream text extraction of its content streams. Status remains 'draft'. See VERIFICATION.md."
