Privium Basic Sail through security

Applying for a new Privium membership currently not possible

We regret to inform you that it is currently NOT possible to apply for a new Privium membership. This is caused by labour shortages combined with large numbers of applications, both for re-activation (after Corona) and for new memberships. For this reason, we are unfortunately forced to announce a membership stop until at least 1 September. You can leave your email address here, so we can inform you when registration is possible again.

Keep me posted


Your Privium Basic advantages

Priority at security

Privium grants you access to the Priority waiting area. A member of security staff will check which queue is shortest, so that you can pass through quickly.

Passport control in the blink of an eye

Thanks to the iris scan, you’ll get through passport control in just 10 seconds. It’s not a problem if you wear glasses or contact lenses.

Facilities for business travellers

You’ll get after security quickly after saving all that time at the security check and passport control. Once you’re there, you can relax or work at our special workplaces but there are also other facilities.

I do not have a Dutch passport. Am I still able to become a Privium member?

You can only become a Privium member if you are in possession of a valid passport or European I.D. card from a country within the European Union, or one from Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway or Iceland. If you are an asylum seeker or refugee you are unfortunately not able to register as a Privium member due to limitations set by the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee.

You can change your subscription. You can also upgrade your card immediately by visiting the Privium ClubLounge Departures.

What documents should I bring with me for my initial appointment to create the Privium card?

To prepare your card for immediate use, we need to see your valid passport or European ID card. Please note that a driver’s licence cannot be used as identification.
