Offices that renew or replace driving licences in Belgium

Online first in many towns, a counter visit when needed

Some municipalities send you to the online route before offering a counter visit, and the checks differ for lost, stolen and damaged licences. Each office explains whether you must apply in person and how you collect the new licence.

    Prepare your identity or residence card and the old licence when available. Upload both sides where BelDrive requests them, then bring the originals specified in the confirmation. A stolen licence requires a police certificate and a counter appointment. Bring medical evidence where applicable; a new white-background photo is needed if you no longer resemble your ID photo. Collect within 90 days of application, otherwise the licence is destroyed and a fresh paid application is required. The current City fee is €38. The processing period is five working days for BelDrive and seven working days for a counter application. Start planning around three months before expiry and check validity yourself; the City does not send a renewal reminder.
