What can I do if my child does not have a birth certificate?
Belgium
English

Your refugee status does not allow you to have any contact with your country’s embassy or consulate event to ask for a birth certificate. You can ask the Helpdesk recognised refugeés and stateless persons of the Office of the Commissioner General for Refugees and Stateless Persons (CGRA) for the documents that you can’t get from the authorities of your state of origin such as the birth certificate.

 

Upon arrival at the border or at the office where you seek asylum, your child will automatically receive a birth certificate if it was listed as the child on the form 25/26 of one of the recognised parents. The CGRA will deliver the documents at no cost.

 

The Helpdesk is directly accessible from Monday to Friday from 8:30 to 10am. CGRA-CGVS.Documents@ibz.fgov.be Tel: 02 205 50 09

long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English.

Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy
