It has taken us blood, sweat, tears and a lot of money, but our daughter is finally registered with the local authorities in Belgium. After receiving so much contradicting information regarding registration, nationality, health insurance and child benefits, we are finally seeing the end of the tunnel.
The list of problems was long, here some of the more urgent ones:
- In Germany they had a problem with her first name.
- In Belgium they cannot understand that my wife and I have the same surname
- In Belgium they don't accept the German 'Wedding Book'
- We needed a certified translation of such a simple thing as a wedding certificate, and in the end they did not accept it as we could not provide them with an original (a copy of the original, signed by the responsible authorities was not enough apparently).
- We couldn't get health insurance for Caitlin, as long as she was not registered.
- Child benefits gave us the same answer...but today I sent all the necessary information so I hope we'll be able to deal with that as well
