At our speed capture terminals, you can easily capture the biometric data (photo, fingerprints, signature) required for applying for an identity card, passport, residence permit, or travel document. This data is accessed solely by a clerk for the purpose of processing your application and is not used for any other purpose. The data is deleted within 60 minutes of being accessed, or within 12 hours if it is not accessed.

The collected data can be used for several documents, such as identity cards and passports.

Please note that the photo booth is not suitable for passport photos of infants and toddlers.

You will not receive a print of your photo.

Capturing and digitally transmitting a photo costs €6.00. This usage fee will be collected by the clerk along with the other fees.

The self-service terminal cannot be used for fishing licenses or driver's license applications. Please bring a biometric passport photo for these purposes.
