Document background
The Confirmation Letter of Residence is a fundamental administrative document in the Belgian legal system, required for various official purposes from school enrollment to opening bank accounts. This document is issued by municipal authorities under the authority of federal Belgian legislation, particularly the Law of 19 July 1991 and related Royal Decrees. The letter serves as official proof that an individual is registered at a specific address within Belgium, containing essential information such as the resident's full name, address, national register number, and duration of residence. It may be required for interactions with various institutions and authorities, both within Belgium and internationally. The Confirmation Letter of Residence must be issued in the official language of the municipality and typically includes security features to ensure its authenticity.
