Any Belgian citizen who has a national number can make a euthanasia declaration.

However, Belgian consular missions can neither accept nor register the euthanasia declaration. Presently, only the Belgian municipalities can do so.

A duly completed euthanasia declaration is valid in Belgium, even if it has not been registered with a Belgian municipality.

More information on the conditions of validity of a duly completed euthanasia declaration in Belgium is available at the website of the FPS Public Health

It is uncertain whether this type of declaration would be valid abroad.

You can find the standard form on the website of Foreign Affairs
