Passports

We no longer issue standard (5 and 10 year) British passports at our Embassy in Brussels. You now need to apply for your passport at our Regional Passport Processing Centre in Paris.

The Regional Passport Processing Centre website will tell you everything you need to know about applying for a new or replacement British passport from Belgium.

Why have we done this? Please see this leaflet [PDF, 77.0 Kb] for all the changes related to the way we issue passports overseas. 

Urgent Travel

If you need to travel urgently and your standard passport is not available we may be able to help you with emergency travel documentation. Please be advised that emergency travel documents are subject to a fee.

We wish to make clear that this category of passport is processed in the UK and so can take more than eight weeks to produce.
