If you are living in the UAE, it is advisable to be registered in the consular population register of the Belgian Embassy.
Administrative assistance, such as the issuance of passports, eID’s, Kids-ID’s, consular certificates, etc. is only provided to Belgians who are registered in the consular population register
There are two ways to register: online or via e-mail. Registration at the Embassy cannot be done via appointment.
Online registration with active e-ID
Register yourself in the consular population register online via the eConsul website. You can access the website if you:
- are Belgian;
- are not (no longer) registered in Belgian municipality, because you have reported your departure abroad to this municipality;
- have a valid and activated Belgian e-ID;
- know your PIN code and have a card reader.
Registration via e-mail by sending documents to the embassy
If you do not have an active e-ID, you can register by sending an e-mail to our embassy (abudhabi@diplobel.fed.be).
Please send ALL the following documents (which are available in Dutch or French) in PDF format:
- if you have moved from Belgium, the “Model 8” (proof of deregistration issued by your commune) in Dutch or French;
- the registration form for adults (Dutch or French), minors (Dutch or French), or foreign family members of a registered Belgian (Dutch or French);
- the registration form for elections abroad in Dutch or French (possibly followed by a power of attorney form in Dutch or French);
- a copy of your passport;
- a copy of your e-ID;
- a copy of your residence permit (Emirates ID);
- proof of your address (for example: lease agreement, letter from local authority, electricity bill in your name).
Your registration can only be finalized by the Embassy once we have received all the above documents.
