Application for a residence card: what proof of residence?

Verified 03 May 2021 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

If you are applying for a residence card, you must provide proof of residence less than 6 months ago. The document to provide depends on your situation.

You must provide one of the following:

  • Electricity, gas, water, landline or internet bill
  • Rental Lease
  • Rent receipt
  • Residential tax

FYI  

a secure proof of domicile (including a 2D-Doc barcode) cannot be declined.

You must provide the following 2 documents:

  • Attestation from your hotelier
  • Last month invoice

You must provide the following 3 documents:

  • Attestation of your host dated and signed
  • Copy of his identity card or residence card
  • Proof of domicile in his name (deed of ownership or record of housing tax or copy of the lease or invoice for electricity, gas, water, fixed telephone or internet access) if the address of his national identity card or residence card is no longer up to date

FYI  

a secure proof of domicile (including a 2D-Doc barcode) cannot be declined.
