Civil registry offices for certificates in Belgium

Bring your identity card or residence card. For another person’s certificate, also prepare that person’s national-register number and evidence of your right to request the certificate and permitted legitimate interest. Ask the receiving organisation whether it needs a Dutch copy, an internationally coded certificate or a translation. The internationally coded version is not a literal translation. For use in another EU country, ask Huwen en Samenwonen about a translation aid; confirm acceptance before paying for a sworn translation. For assisted digital self-service at the Stadskantoor, bring your card and PIN.
