What?
Some consular services require an appointment in person, either at the Embassy in Canberra or during a biometric mission. To avoid the applicant having to go to Canberra, the Embassy organizes biometric missions, during which part of our team goes to another city for a few days and receives the applicants (by appointment only).
During a biometric missions you can opt for the following:
- Application for a new biometric passport (only for persons older than 6 years)
- Pre-registration of your data for a later application for a biometric passport (within the year)
- Application for an eID or Kids-ID (only for persons older than 6 years)
- Activation or unblocking of your eID (you must be in possession of your PUK code)
The Embassy sends an email with detailed information in a timely manner to all registered Belgians living in the region of each mission.
If you wish to participate in one of these missions, you must send your complete application to the Embassy in Canberra, after confirmation of the mission, and before the deadline.
Please note, places are limited. We recommend that you do not book your flight/accommodation before you have an appointment.
When?
The provisional planning of the missions is decided at the end of the year for the coming year.
We never visit a city more than once a year. There will be no mission organised in 2026 to cities which are not mentioned.
Preliminary dates and locations for missions in 2026 are published below. Please note that final locations and dates will follow later and that this list is subject to change.
