Processing times

Processing time form or supporting document

If you submit a form or piece of evidence, we will usually process it within 8 weeks. Does it take longer? On this page you can read to which forms this applies. You can also see what you can do in the meantime.

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.
