In passports issued in or after 2014, the BSN is at the top of page 1, on the back of the personal details page. The personal details page is the hard plastic page with your photo on it. Your BSN is comprised of 9 digits. Above your BSN it says ‘persoonsnummer’, which is another name for the BSN.
Passports issued on or after 30 August 2021 also contain the BSN in a QR code on the back of the personal details page.
Attention: In passports issued before 2014 the BSN is located on the front of the personal details page.
No BSN in your passport?
If you do not have a BSN and apply for a new passport and ID card, you will receive a passport or ID card without a BSN. You are not required to apply for a BSN.
