A passport is an official, worldwide recognized travel document. It allows travel in all countries of the world, if necessary after obtaining a visa. It is in the format of a booklet. A Belgian passport is valid for 7 years (5 years for minors). All Belgians, from birth, can obtain their own passport.
Where to apply for a passport?
Belgian citizens living abroad AND registered in the consular population register at a Belgian Embassy can request a passport:
- at the Embassy of registration
- at another Belgian Embassy
- in the Belgian municipality where they were last registered
- In their Belgian municipality of birth if they did not live in Belgium but were born there
- In a Belgian municipality of their choice if they have never lived in Belgium and were not born there either
Belgian citizens registered with domicile in Belgium, must request their passport at their commune of registration.
