Civil status

If you are Belgian, any changes to your civil status are governed by Belgian law. Belgian law will apply even if you reside abroad.

After registering with our consular post, the embassy is your first point of contact for the recognition of foreign acts in Belgium and their transcription into the National Registry. it is very important that you communicate any changes in your civil status to the embassy.

You will find more information about your civil status on the website of the SPF Foreign Affairs.
