Passport application

Belgians registered at the Embassy of Belgium in Islamabad or at another Belgian diplomatic or consular post abroad can apply for an ordinary passport. Belgians who are still registered at a Belgian commune or who are registered nowhere can only apply for a temporary passport.

The Belgian passport is biometric. The applicant has to come in person to the Embassy to get his data collected (fingerprints, live photo and signature), except children under 6 years. For children under 6 years we accept the form, two photos (45 mm on 35 mm, in colour on a white, even background) and the money by post.

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 passport application.
