Offices that issue the Belgian identity card

Apply where you live and collect the card in the same place

Applications go to the municipality where you are registered, so the office depends on your address. Towns take bookings online, by phone or at the counter, and some give each family member a separate slot. When the card is ready you collect it in person, and the PIN letter arrives by post.

    Place du Marché 55, 4800 Verviers

    Booking online or by phone only reserves your visit, and the finished card is collected at the express desk.

    Bring the invitation, old identity card and a new identity photograph taken less than six months ago on a white background. Apply personally. For collection bring the old card or replacement identity evidence and the mailed codes; retain the codes for later electronic use and address changes. Ask about the correct procedure if the card is lost, stolen or no longer resembles you.
