All ID cards issued by EU member states must contain the fingerprints of 2 (index) fingers according to European regulations.
Since 21 June 2021, for an electronic identity card (e-ID) and/or also your child for the Kids-ID (if your child is 6 years old or older), you will have to come in person and by appointment to your professional consulate to take your biometric data.
Please always provide your Belgian National Register number when communicating with the Belgian Embassy in Islamabad. The Embassy will provide an appointment for submitting the application for an identity card.
Belgians registered at the Belgian Embassy in Islamabad can apply for an identity card. There are two types:
- e-ID for adults and children from 12 years onwards (20 euros). This card has a validity of six years for applicants from 12 to 18 years old, a validity of ten years for applicants between 18 and 75 years and a validity of 30 years for applicants of 75 years old or older.
- Kids-ID for children under 12 years (10 euros). This card has a validity of three years.
Please submit the following pieces:
- The form (in French, Dutch or German), filled out and signed. There is a special form for children under 12 (in French, Dutch or German; Kids-ID form to be signed by BOTH parents in the appropriate boxes). The e-ID applications for children over 12 years old must be signed by the child itself AND by BOTH parents (signatures at the bottom of the document). Don’t forget to mention the desired main language of the card.
- For adults: Belgian ID/passport
- For minors: Belgian/Pakistani IDs/passports of BOTH parents (the document(s) must contain a signature of the concerned parent)
- The exact amount in cash: 20 euros for an e-ID for adults and children from 6 onwards and 10 euros for a Kids-ID for children under 12
- Your previous identity cards
- Two recent passport photos which meet the set standards (45 mm on 35 mm) in colour, on a white, even background. More information about the standards for photos on the following links: in French - in Dutch. Please do not stick the photos to the form.
After the application for an identity card has been submitted at the Embassy, it takes about 3 to 4 weeks for the Kids-ID/e-ID to arrive. The Embassy will contact you as soon as the card is ready for pick-up.
