The ID law doesn't apply to people under 14, though, who are nonetheless required to show ID when entering the country, which I suspect means that entry to the country is covered by an entirely different law altogether. | |

added information to answer more precisely OPs question.

Meaning that if you go to the Dutch border and claim that you have the right to enter country only(!) because you are a Dutch citizen, but you cannot proof your citizenship, they may detain you to prevent illegal entry. Sorry this still doesn't enter your question. I suggest you call the Marechaussee: + 31 20 603 80 63 and let us know what they say. | |

Of course, if there's a law that I couldn't find my answer could be wrong :) | |

| Jan 31, 2017 at 21:31 | comment | added | Michael Paul | I found the 2013 date here, but I misread, it is since 2003, doesn't make much sense like this though: mens-en-samenleving.infonu.nl/internationaal/… I guess what is new is the requirement to live a year in the Netherlands to renew this period: "Deze tien jaar zijn ingegaan in 2013. Je kunt voorkomen dat dit gebeurd door tussen 2003 en 2013 minimaal een jaar in Nederland te wonen en hier dus je hoofdverblijf te hebben." | |

| Jan 31, 2017 at 21:19 | comment | added | phoog | The law doesn't expressly mention dual citizens, but it doesn't enumerate foreign (non-EU) passports among the acceptable documents. Instead, it makes reference to the Vreemdelingenwet 2000 for aliens. But a dual national isn't an alien, so those documents don't apply for dual nationals. I assume that this is the source of the requirement. But my real question is whether the law applies at the border. (The 10-year rule is not new; it's been in place since at least the 19th century, but has been modified several times. In its current form it dates from 2004; where do you get the 2013 date?) | |
