Can somebody else apply for me or pick up my passport?
Application for MVV must be done in person.
However, you may authorise somebody else to pick up your passport. This person needs to bring the ‘pick-up note’ and his/her identity card, and you have to fill in the authorisation form on the backside of the pick-up note. The Embassy in that case is not responsible for loss or abuse of your passport and/or the visa inside.
