6 to 8 weeks
If you send DUO a form or a supporting document, we process it within 6 to 8 weeks. Take a look at what you can do in the meantime. Does the processing take longer than usual? Then you will read about it on this page.
Mijn DUO: always faster
A long wait is not always necessary. In Mijn DUO you can arrange a lot of things yourself. Even from abroad, using a DigiD or European digital identity.
Once your application or document has been processed, you will find a notice in Mijn DUO. Often, you can see the results of your actions right away.
