Offices that take your departure report in Belgium

Attend personally with your Belgian residence document, national identity card or passport, and a recent compliant photo less than six months old. Confirm what departure does to your particular residence document and any planned return before surrendering documents. If you cannot attend, ask the foreign-residents team how your circumstances can be handled.

Before departure, bring your identity card and have its PIN available for the official counter process. The household reference person can declare for the whole departing household; other representatives need signed authority and both-sided ID copies, with card-update arrangements to confirm. From abroad, provide proof from the foreign municipality or local police, national-register number, new address, accompanying family members’ names and ID copies. The city requires a parent travelling alone with children to provide the remaining parent’s permission.
