Residence Card Procedures in Belgium and Birth Certificate Processing

Last activity 04 January 2024 by Alex Jonas

My girlfriend has a Card F for 5 years, and she has been in Belgium for 8 years. We are from the same country, and she recently gave birth to our baby. Yesterday, we received the birth certificate for our newborn.


My questions are:


1. Given that I am using an Orange card, what procedure should I follow to change it to another card?


2. Now that we have the birth certificate, what steps should we take next?


Thank you.
