Residence Permit Renewal Application

Choose the country that issued your document

About this document

While a residence permit is being renewed, the authorities give the applicant documents proving that the application is pending: a receipt, a filing certificate or a certificate of extended processing, depending on the case. They show the applicant's identity, file or foreign national number, the permit applied for, the document's validity period and often the rights it grants while the application is examined, such as the right to work.
