Collect documents for family reunification (Article 8 ECHR) and have them translated

The Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) will ask for personal documents with your application for family reunification. You must submit the following documents for you and your family member:

• A recent passport photo of your family member. Does your family member not have a passport photo? Then you can submit another clear photo of their face.

• A copy of the front and back of your family member's ID - preferably a passport. Upload the pages containing details of their identity and validity of the ID. Also submit the pages with travel stamps.

• The fully completed and signed background statement

  . This is a statement indicating your family member has no criminal history. A background statement is only required if your family member is 12 years of age or older.

• The fully completed and signed 'verklaring burgerlijke staat

  ' (declaration of marital status). This is a declaration that states your family member's marital status and whether they are in a long-term committed relationship. The declaration is required if your family member is 15 years of age or older.

• Does your family member have citizenship of one of the countries not listed in the 'Bijlage Vrijstelling tbc-plicht

  ' (appendix of exemption from TB requirement)? If so, please submit the 'Bijlage Intentieverklaring tbc-onderzoek
  ' (appendix of declaration of intent for TB testing).

• A fully completed 'Signature upload'

  from yourself. This form is needed only when applying online for an authorisation of provision residence (mvv). You need to print this form, sign it yourself and then take a picture of it. You can then upload that photo with the online mvv application. If you apply for asylum reunification with the written form, this form is not necessary. You already sign the written application form yourself.
