If you have moved to the UK from Belgium, ensure that you have de-registered from your previous town hall in Belgium before sending us your registration documents – contact your previous municipal administration for more information on how to do this.

A separate procedure exists for registering a newborn child (or somebody who has never been registered with any Belgian authority before).

Which documents should each adult provide?

  • A registration form, completed and signed: DUTCH / FRENCH
  • A copy of your Belgian identity card (front and back) or passport
  • A recent proof of address, no older than 3 months and in your name
  • Proof of your right to remain in the UK
  • Your voter registration form(s), completed and signed: DUTCH / FRENCH

Which documents should be provided for each child?

  • A registration form for minors, completed and signed by both parents/legal guardians: DUTCH / FRENCH
  • A copy of the child’s Belgian identity card (front and back) or passport
  • A copy of both parents’ passports or Belgian identity cards
  • Proof of the child’s right to remain in the UK

Which documents are accepted as a proof of address?

  • Council tax or utility bill (not mobile phone bill)
  • Bank statement (high street bank, not internet bank)
  • British driving licence
  • Letter from a British government department (e.g. HM Revenue & Customs, Department for Work and Pensions)
  • Letter confirming registration with a GP/dentist or on the electoral roll of your local council in the UK

How can I prove my right to remain in the UK?

For those with (pre-)settled status, a UK visa or any other immigration status: generate a share code on the website of the British government. When prompted, select the option to prove your status “for anything else”. The share code you should send to us is a nine-digit alphanumeric code starting with S. We do not accept letters from the Home Office as proof.

For those who have British citizenship: send a copy of your British passport and, if you are not British from birth, a copy of your certificate of naturalisation.

Where do I send the registration documents?

You should send all the documents requested above to:

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