Where to report a change of address in Belgium

Choose the city you moved to, not the one you left

A move is reported to the municipality you are moving to, and each one has its own routine: some take the report online or at a kiosk, others through a district office or by appointment. Afterwards you are asked to come in so your ID or residence card can be updated.

    Bring your identity card and identify every household member moving with you. Know the card PIN for the later chip update. A replacement PIN order has a separate €15 charge if needed. The city also provides an Intradel container-transfer form; that waste-service form is free and is not the address-registration declaration.
