FOR BELGIANS RESIDING IN SAINT-MARTIN: Simplified consular procedures for Belgians residing in Saint-Martin | FAXINFO

February 7, 2025

As you know, it is mandatory to come in person to a career consular post, if you need a new passport or identity card.

In accordance with European regulations, your photo, fingerprints and digital signature are recorded. In order to minimise the scope of such a measure, “Flying Consul” biometrics capture missions are organised for Belgian citizens for whom the Consulate General is less accessible, and in order to avoid them having to travel too far.

During the same mission it will also be possible to activate your identity card. If the next mission " Flying Consul » will take place in Guadeloupe on Thursday March 20 and Friday March 21, 2025, it will make a stopover in Saint-Martin for the first time on Saturday, March 22. The location will be announced later. Please note that places are limited.
