Belgium passport photo: it depends on how you apply

Why

Depends on your municipality

What the authority says

Many embassies, consulates, and municipalities will take your passport photo themselves, so you do not need to bring a photo. … For young children who cannot sit still in front of the camera, it is best to bring a photo with you.
