IND Sticker Appointment Alert
Sticker verblijfsaantekening appointments are booked free of charge through the IND's own online system. This page explains how the endorsement sticker appointment works and offers an independent availability monitoring service for the IND desks in Amsterdam, The Hague, 's-Hertogenbosch and Zwolle: when a new slot appears, you get notified and book it yourself.
Independent service. Not affiliated with the IND or the Dutch government. No appointment is ever sold or booked on your behalf.
Who needs a verblijfsaantekening sticker?
If you hold or await a Dutch residence status and need proof of lawful stay in your passport — for example while a residence permit application is pending, or after a status change — the IND places an endorsement sticker (sticker verblijfsaantekening) in your travel document. The sticker is issued in person at an IND desk, so an appointment is required.
Because desks release capacity irregularly and cancellations free up slots during the day, availability changes constantly. That is exactly the gap this monitoring service covers.
How the monitoring works
- The IND public availability page is read at short, regular intervals.
- New dates and times per desk are compared against the previous snapshot.
- When a genuinely new slot appears, a notification is generated.
- You open the official IND appointment system and book it yourself.
No login walls or CAPTCHAs are bypassed and no data is invented: what you see is what the public IND page showed at the last check.
