Residence Permit PIN/PUK waiting time

Hi,

Yes, it's worth following up because typically, the PIN/PUK code letter is delivered within 1 to 2 weeks after registering. However, delays can happen, as I’ve experienced something similar. In my case, the letter was mistakenly delivered to a neighbor’s mailbox by the postal service. I had to go back to the municipality to request new codes, but eventually, my neighbor brought me the original letter.

I recommend checking with your neighbors and contacting the municipality to request a new set of PIN/PUK codes if necessary. It’s better to address this sooner rather than later to avoid delays in activating your residence card.

Hi,

To update I indeed followed up with the municipality and it was lost in post. I requested next one directly to municipality and received it soon.
