If you arrive with a D visa in Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve, register with the municipality within eight days of your arrival in Belgium. If you live outside Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve, contact your municipality of residence. 

In Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve, after your arrival and installation, send the Foreigners service an email with the documents in PDF. Use the address indicated on the official form and the requested subject: "Registration + Name + Nationality + Date of birth". 

The form notably asks for the passport, the D visa, the lease, the standard certificate of definitive registration for the current year and proof of financing. For an exchange, add the requested mobility documents. Consult the complete list and the documents to bring to the meeting on the municipal website. If a part is missing, contact service immediately. 

The municipality checks your presence at the declared address then sets the appointment for the rest of the procedure. Make your name identifiable by doorbell and mailbox, and watch your mail. Requesting an appointment does not mean that the residence permit has already been issued.
