New and old passport copy with travel stamps necessary for mvv?

Hi everyone,

Just a quick check if anyone has had same experience here. So, my wife, who is Dutch, is applying for my mvv this week. We got all the documents sorted but just wanted clarification on how important are the travel stamps on my passport? One of the requirements is that we submit copy of the front page of my passport and travel stamps. However, the passport I'm applying with is a brand new one with no travel stamps on it, meaning I haven't travelled with it yet.
All my stamps are on my old and expired (2018) passport. So, my question is: Is it really necessary to submit the new passport copy AND the old passport copy (front page and travel stamps page) at the same time or is it enough to submit just the new one with no travel history? I wonder if anyone had that dilemma coz I don't want to send in both and cause confusion.

Regards,

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

Yes, it's necessary, they are looking for your old travel information and whether you have been deported from other countries; if so, it will be stamped in your passport.

Hope this helps.

Hi, you need to include the copies of the old stamped passport pages, this would help to further show proofs of an existing partnership to the ind, if you have been travelling to see your partner, if not I'm sure they still want to see your travel history. So you have to include it.
All the best.

Hi, thank you all for the prompt feedbacks! I have travelled to Netherlands before to see her and other places too so I agree it’s a safer option to attach the old PP copies too.

Thanks again,

Ask yourself why they need the stamps and you have your answer. To see if you where ever somewhere to gether and its not a  fraude relation.
