Where to request a cohabitation certificate in Belgium

Kiosk, online or counter: it depends on your town

Some town halls let you print the certificate at a self-service kiosk, others deliver it digitally at once when you sign in, and a few expect a phone call or a booked slot. The certificate proves that the declaration of legal cohabitation was made, and it can be used abroad once it is legalised or given an apostille.
