Registration in the embassy's consular registers is not mandatory, but it is the basic prerequisite for using the embassy's consular services. These services include: the issuing of identity cards, passports and consular certificates, registration of a (newborn) child, or participation in elections.

Conditions for registration

• You are registered with the local authorities in Norway or Iceland and have a long-term (+1 year) residence permit
  • For Norway: a D number is a temporary residence number and is not sufficient to register at the embassy. An F number is required for this.
• You have been deregistered from your municipality in Belgium

Do not deregister from your Belgian municipality until you meet the conditions for entry in the consular registers!

Changes to your personal data

The embassy never receives administrative/personal information from Folkeregister (Norway) or Þjóðskrá Íslands (Iceland) about Belgian nationals. On the other hand, the embassy never shares administrative/personal information of Belgians with foreign authorities.

Please always inform us of any changes to your personal data: email, phone number, address, name, marital status, nationality, family composition,...
