Belgian Identity Cards

A Belgian electronic Identity Card is issued to Belgian citizens from the age of 12 onwards who are registered with the Consulate General in Hong Kong.

These consular ID cards are valid for:

10 years ( holders 22 to 75 years of age)
5 years ( holders 12 to 22 years of age)
Indefinitely ( holders over 75)

All Belgians registered in the Consulate General must apply for an Identity card (law on consular registers of 26.06.2006). The e-ID is the legal proof of their registration with the Consulate General.

The following documents are required when applying for a Belgian e-ID (electronic ID card):

2 e-ID Card application forms – in French – in Dutch - in German (signed in black within the frame)
a photocopy of your current ID card or e-ID
1 additional information form - in French - in Dutch - in English
2 recent colour passport photographs (35 x 45mm, without white frame, face with hair: 35mm) white background only (photo requirements - in French - in Dutch)
fee paid in advance in cash

Processing in Belgium takes at least 4 weeks. You can retain your current ID until the new e-ID arrives. You will be informed of its arrival by phone or e-mail.

Remarks:

Additional documents may be required depending on each individual case (e.g. proof of address in case of change of residence).
Applicants who lose their e-ID are requested to provide a recent certificate of loss in addition to the above mentioned documents.
It is highly recommended to block a lost/stolen ID card without delay by calling DOC STOP in Belgium.
