edition in 2015. Administration The majority of nationality-related administration is conducted by Belgian municipalities (communes / gemeente) and Belgian diplomatic missions (including embassies and consulates, all falling under the jurisdiction of FPS Foreign Affairs). Where a person is required to make a declaration (déclaration / verklaring), this must usually be made at the municipality or diplomatic mission where they are registered. Certain declarations can only be made in Belgium at municipalities, while other declarations can only be made abroad at diplomatic missions. The FPS Interior maintains a National Register (Registre National / Rijksregister) of citizens and foreigners residing on Belgian territory. Belgian nationality is usually encoded in this register, along with the way in which the citizen derives their nationality. However, Belgian nationality is ultimately a question of law and fact, and therefore omission from the National Register does not necessarily mean that a person does not have Belgian nationality. Anyone listed in the National Register has the right to inspect their record and request for it to be corrected if it is inaccurate. A Belgian citizen may obtain a certificate of nationality from the National Register website, or from the municipality or embassy where they are registered (which will obtain the certificate from the National Register system on the citizen's behalf). Attribution of Belgian nationality A child can be attributed Belgian nationality at birth by being born to a Belgian citizen or born in Belgium, with conditions. Birth to a Belgian citizen Birth to a Belgian parent is the most common route for attribution of Belgian nationality. Due to the reform of the Belgian nationality code in 1984, the conditions attached depend principally on whether one was born before or after these reforms came into effect. Birth on or before 31 December 1984 A person born on or before 31 December 1984 is attributed Belgian nationality if the person is: born in wedlock (legitimately) to a male Belgian citizen OR; born out of wedlock and first parentally acknowledged by Belgian citizen. In addition to the above provisions, a person who was born between 1 January 1967 and 31 December 1984, and who fulfils one of the conditions below relating to those born on or after 1 January 1985, is automatically attributed Belgian nationality taking effect on 1 January 1985. Birth on or after 1 January 1985 A person born on or after 1 January 1985 is attributed Belgian nationality
