All you need to do is to visit your new maison communale / gemeentehuis and register there. The process is a bit simpler than when you first arrived in Belgium because you’re already in the system. Your new commune will take care of the rest and you can get on with your life!

The Angloinfo website confirms this and has other useful information about moving house.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

saw your article and found it very helpful. please help me with my situation.
i had registered in one townhall and received the Belgian ID card. Now i have moved to a different area and need to change my townhall also.
How long would this process take and what do i need to do?
please help me understand

Thanks for your visit.

Firstly, if you already have a Belgian bank account, you should set up the rental guarantee with your own banker so that you can monitor the account easily. Otherwise, you can approach a reputable bank yourself, but it’s better to make that choice yourselves.

Make sure you set up the appointment in advance so that the bank has enough time to get the documentation ready. This will speed things along. Then the landlord and the lessor arrive at the agreed time to conclude the agreement. Our landlord’s agent was fashionably late. The presence of the landlord or his/her agent, while obviously necessary for the contract, does not constitute proof of anything else ;-)

The bank usually requires ‘two forms of identification’. In real terms, you should have your personal photo identification – passport or Belgian ID card – and a signed proof of employment. This latter could be your actual employment contract (if signed in Belgium and not a photocopy) or else you can obtain a letter confirming the status of your employment in Belgium, on an official letterhead and signed by a responsible person.

Best wishes in your new home!

I want something different and more private. I am a non eu citizen residing in europe and would like to relocate to any part in Belgium in search for a job. Where can I get a temporary free squat for a start? Please name them and their addresses. Thanks
