Description

A Belgian passport from 2004-2009 would have been one of the first biometric passports issued by Belgium, as they began introducing electronic chips in 2004. These chips contained the passport holder’s personal data, signature, and photo.

Key Features of Belgian Passports (2004-2009):

Biometric Data: The passports included an electronic chip with personal information, a digital photo, and the passport holder’s signature.
Physical Appearance: Belgian passports followed the standard EU design and were typically burgundy in color. The Belgian coat of arms was displayed on the front cover. Text on the cover was printed in French, Dutch, German, and English.
Machine Readable Zone (MRZ): The MRZ is a standardized section at the bottom of the passport’s identification page, containing machine-readable code with the passport holder’s key information. This allows for quick and automated processing by immigration authorities.
EU Membership: As Belgian citizens are also citizens of the European Union, the passport granted the rights of free movement and residence in any EU country, as well as other European Economic Area states and Switzerland.
Validity: Belgian passports are valid for 7 years for adults and 5 years for minors.

It’s worth noting that in April 2014, Belgium began including the holder’s fingerprints on the electronic chip in all new passports
