Offices that exchange foreign driving licences in Belgium

Bring identification, the original licence and a recent photo if your ID photo cannot be reused; no licence photos are taken at the counter. A police loss/theft certificate applies to relevant EU cases. For other licences ask about a translation, fitness certificate and evidence of residence when the licence was issued.

Bring the original foreign licence and identity or residence document. Bring a passport photo if you have no electronic identity card or want a different photo. If authenticity is confirmed before the required residence period ends, the office retains the licence until that condition is met. Plan for the period without driving. Pay by card or app at Harmonie; additional documents for an existing case go through the separate submission form linked by the city.

Prepare identification and the valid original national licence; provisional and international licences cannot be exchanged. Ask whether a Belgian sworn translation is required. If your nationality differs from the issuing country, the federal guide requires proof of at least 185 days there in the issue year, covering the issue date; embassy attestations are not accepted for that proof. Ask Arlon which evidence and photo to bring. Authenticity checks can take weeks. The federal charge is €20 plus a municipal charge; confirm the exchange total rather than using the renewal fee. For a non-EU/EEA licence, the city also checks that it was issued during a period of at least 185 days when you were not registered in Belgium; later-added categories cannot be validated through that exchange.

Bring your valid original licence and identity or residence document; the European checklist also requires a recent compliant photograph. Ask the office which additional evidence applies to your licence. Plan transport for any period when your licence is retained.

Bring your identity or Belgian residence card and original valid foreign licence. For the European procedure, a Belgian or foreign police loss/theft certificate can be used where applicable. A non-European original not in French, Dutch or English needs a sworn translation. A recent photo on a white background is needed if you no longer resemble your identity-card photo. Check recognition, fees and the current assessment time before booking travel; authentication can take substantially longer than production of the Belgian card.

Bring your identity or residence card and the valid original foreign licence. The European route also accepts the specified police loss/theft evidence when applicable. For non-European originals outside French, Dutch or English, the City requires a sworn translation. Bring a recent white-background photo if your ID photo no longer resembles you. The City charges €38 for card ordering, €5 for European registration or €5 for non-European authentication. It estimates non-European authentication at two months and subsequent card production at five working days; these are separate periods. European registration/exchange takes five working days and requires prior registration for exchange. Confirm the timing and driving entitlement for your own case; a pending exchange does not extend it.

Bring your identity document and original national driving licence. Ask whether your case needs residence evidence or a sworn translation. Confirm when to start an EU/EEA exchange: federal guidance advises three months before expiry, while Charleroi advises one month. For non-European cases, ask about authenticity checks, when the original must be surrendered and whether you may drive during processing; an application is not itself a driving permit.

Bring Belgian identification or a Belgian residence permit and the foreign licence. The city requests a sworn translation if it is not in German, French, Dutch or English; a separate photo is requested without an electronic identity card.

Bring the valid original licence, residence document and valid passport or European identity document as applicable. Evere requires a sworn translation for a non-European licence not fully in French, Dutch or English. Bring a compliant recent photo for the Belgian card order. If your nationality differs from the non-European issuing country, federal rules require evidence of at least 185 days there in the year of issue, including the issue date; ask which evidence is accepted. Discuss surrender and your right to drive during processing; submitting an exchange is not a replacement licence.

Bring identification and the original foreign licence. Genk can reuse a suitable e-ID photograph; otherwise bring a recent compliant photo. Ask whether a sworn translation or proof of residence in the issuing country is needed. If you start a non-European exchange before completing 185 days of Belgian registration, the surrendered foreign licence is not returned during that waiting period. Arrange alternative transport and ask the desk when it will retain your original; do not assume you can continue driving while it is held.

Bring your identity or residence card and European licence. Theft requires a police report. If the licence was issued after Belgian registration, ask the department to assess the dates: the city distinguishes cases below and above 185 days and may require proof of deregistration from the issuing country. Expired licences require the city to obtain details through the federal mobility authority. Mention any medical certificate or professional-competence update when booking.

Bring your identity card or residence document and original foreign licence. The city asks for a recent photo if you no longer resemble your eID photograph. For a non-EU licence, check the recognised country and model and prepare the issue and residence history needed to establish eligibility. Ask the counter about any translation or further evidence rather than assuming a universal checklist.

Bring your residence document and original national licence; an international or provisional licence does not replace the original for exchange. A new compliant photo is needed if the identity-card photo no longer resembles you. A Belgian sworn translation may be required. If your nationality differs from the issuing country, prepare evidence of at least 185 days there during the issue year, including the issue date; stamped, dated residence, employment, rental or utility records may be relevant. Federal guidance allows starting a non-EU exchange during the initial 185 days, but the Belgian licence cannot be issued before that period is completed. Ask the team which evidence applies to your actual issue, renewal or replacement date.

Bring your identity document and original foreign licence. The city normally uses the eID photo; bring a recent photo if needed.
