Certificate of residence
If you live abroad you may occasionally need to produce a certificate of residence. For example, when you want to renew your driving licence. An embassy or consulate-general can draw up this document for you.
Due to the corona virus, you cannot apply for a consular certificate at an embassy or consulate-general until further notice.
