Is it possible to apply for a Schengen visa without leaving one's passport at the consulate?

score:2

Accepted answer

According to an email from the Dutch consulate in Vancouver:

Good day,

In case you have a Green card, you can travel back to US without your passport. In case you have a visa in your passport, you can travel with your passport back to US, and mail us the passport. We won’t be able to send your application to our Regional office in Washington DC without your passport. We trust to have informed you sufficiently.

So the answer is no, it might not be possible depending on the consulate. But you should still be able to find an alternative arrangements such as mailing in the passport.
