    For a third-party request outside direct ancestry or descent, you need an Irisbox appointment, a power of attorney, a copy of the person’s identity card and your own identity card. Confirm the requirements before attending Avenue Charles-Quint 140, 1083 Ganshoren. This obtains an existing record; submitting a foreign act for recognition is a separate procedure.
