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 coronavirus, the possibilities to apply for a consular declaration at an embassy or consulate-general are limited. Choose the country where you live to check if it is possible to apply.
