APPLY FOR A PASSPORT IN BELGIUM

For information on how to apply for a passport, please use our passport navigator.  The navigator will ask you a series of simple questions and help you make an appointment or provide you with instructions to send a mail-in renewal application to Brussels if you are eligible.

PLEASE NOTE: The processing time for routine passport applications is approximately 6 weeks due to high demand.  If you are traveling within the next 2 weeks and need an Emergency Passport, please begin with passport navigator.  If you are eligible for an emergency passport, instructions will populate on the final page.

Reminder for Dual National U.S. Citizens:  U.S. law requires all U.S. citizens, including dual-national citizens, to enter the United States using their U.S. passport. We urge all U.S. citizens to keep their U.S. passports current.

The Embassy is closed on Belgian and American holidays.
