The report that hidden Dutch citizens, or latent Dutch citizens, are able to obtain a Dutch passport, has appeared in various media. It only concerns a legislative proposal. It will not become a law until the Upper and Lower House have adopted the legislative proposal. Thereafter, the Minister of Justice will decide when the law will enter into effect.
Currently, this means that persons who think they qualify cannot do anything at this time. It will not be possible to submit an option request until the Act has entered into effect. A Dutch passport cannot be applied for until the option statement has been confirmed and the announcement of the granting of Dutch citizenship has been issued at a ceremony.
