Kids-ID applications for children under 6

Children under 6 do not have to apply in person at the Embassy in London.
  1. Last updated on

You should submit a Kids-ID application by post instead.

Before you can apply for your child's first Kids-ID, their birth must first be registered. You may send a Kids-ID application along with your child's registration, but it will not be processed until the registration is complete. 

What documents should I send?

  • A Kids-ID application form, completed and signed by both parents/legal guardians
  • Two passport photos of your child, with their name written on the back. To ensure the photo is not rejected, check the requirements: NL / FR
  • A prepaid Special Delivery envelope addressed to yourself 
  • A plain envelope with a 1st Class stamp on it, addressed to yourself 
  • Your child’s old Kids-ID, if they have one 
  • Proof of payment, either with a bank statement or a banking app screenshot of the transaction

How do I pay?

A Kids-ID costs £9 and is valid for 3 years. Payment is by bank transfer only. You should transfer the money to: 

Account name: Embassy of Belgium / Account number: 1079 4033 / Sort code: 40-63-84 

Your payment reference should start with ‘ID’ and include the first initial and surname of the child, for example: ID J SMITH

Where do I send the Kids-ID application?

You should send all the documents requested above to:

Embassy of Belgium (Population)
17 Grosvenor Crescent
LONDON
SW1X 7EE

The Kids-ID will be ready 4 to 6 weeks after we receive the application. 

‘Hello Parents’ service

If your child is lost and carrying their Kids-ID, any person who finds them can contact their parents on up to seven emergency contact phone numbers via ‘Hello Parents’, assuming that you have activated the service first. The Kids-ID displays their telephone number (+32 78 150350), which can be contacted 24/7.
