Offices that take your departure report in Belgium

Go to the municipality where you are registered now

The report is made where you currently live, so the right office depends on your Belgian address. Towns handle it differently: a walk-in counter, an emailed form, an online request or a phone call first. Foreign residents hand in their residence card as part of it.

    Phone or email the population team before you go, and declare your departure at the latest the day before.

    Have identification, your registered address and the intended departure details available when contacting the municipal population service (Population), and ask for the document checklist for your household. A Belgian residence permit held by a foreign national is normally cancelled immediately for departure abroad unless a right of return is exercised; discuss that position with the competent foreigners service first. Ask the population service to confirm how to submit your declaration, which attachments your household needs and whether a fee applies before sending it.
