An application cannot be processed until the applicant has visited the embassy or a police station. You will not receive a separate request for identification. If you do not pay a visit within one month to confirm your identity, your application will not be assessed i.e. you will not be granted a permit. The processing fee will not be refunded.
If you cross the given deadline for the reason that the authorities have no free appointments, it will not affect the processing of your application.

In case you already have an appointment for the verification of your identity, you do not need to request for extra time. Please state the time of your appointment on the page “Send additional information” within one month after submitting you application.
