Offices for residence permit applications and renewals in Belgium

Bring the documents requested in your letter or procedure and an identity document such as your residence card or foreign passport. For changed personal details, bring supporting evidence such as the new passport or birth certificate. Foreign documents may need legalisation or an apostille. The city asks for sworn translation when the document is not in Dutch, French, German or English; confirm requirements for your document and country before paying.

Use the checklist sent when your appointment is arranged. The city specifically asks for identity card or passport, with visa where applicable, and documents about civil status such as unmarried, married or divorced. Ask which other originals and proofs your situation needs. Some procedures have a federal residence-processing contribution; confirm whether it applies and the current amount for your case.
