Documents checklist
The most frequent applications and the documents the Belgian authorities ask for:
Belgian passport (application abroad)
- You must be registered in the population register of a Belgian embassy or consulate (Belgians registered in a Belgian municipality cannot get an ordinary passport abroad)
- Apply in person (from age 6) – fingerprints from age 12; many posts work by appointment
- Completed and signed application form; one recent photo (many posts take the photo themselves)
- Your current passport, which is cancelled when the new one is delivered
- Minors: form signed by both parents
- You may also apply at another Belgian post or a Belgian municipality – this can take longer
