Check d vsf site of the home country where you family is based. All required documents for submission are there. Meanwhile you are to scan your I D and registered rental agreement to your family. After scanning, take it back to commune to stamp or sign the scanned copy befor finally sending to your family

Does it need to be posted to the peoplw back home as an original or can it be scanned?

Kendy Makere

Which ID card did you get ?

Adeyola

As a scan. You can't post it because you need it in Belgium. It's your only proof of legal stay

Adeyola

I believe when you say I D, you mean résidence permit.

Dont forget to also include a letter of invitation. So you are sending three documents to your family in addition to the documents your family will gather from their end.
1. Registered rental agreement
2. Scanned residence permit
3. Letter of invitation

Yes I meant which type of permit you got? I have A and u?
