Then you can already submit an application for an extension or change of your residence permit. You will then no longer need to apply for a replacement for this period. When you pick up your new residence document, you must show the (copy) of the police report. </p> <h3>Theft or loss of residence permit abroad</h3> <p>Report the theft or loss of your residence permit to the police in the foreign country. You need the police report to apply for a replacement. The report must be written in Dutch, English, French or German. If this is not the case, the police report has to be translated by a translator sworn in at a court. It is not always possible to travel back to the Netherlands without a residence permit. <a href="https://www.netherlandsworldwide.nl/visa-the-netherlands/dutch-residence-permit-lost">Check if you need a visa for your return trip to the Netherlands</a>.</p> <h3>Finding residence permit again after making a statement</h3> <p>The residence permit is no longer valid after you make a statement to the police. So you always have to apply for a replacement. Have you found the residence permit again after you made a police statement? You must then hand in the residence permit you found again to the IND. You can do this at an IND desk, or you can send it to:</p> <p>IND Bureau documents<br> P.O.
