Driving licences issued in EU countries are valid for use in Belgium for the period of their validity. Non-EU nationals can use their own licence or an international driving licence initially, but are required to apply at their local town hall for a Belgian licence if their stay in Belgium exceeds 90 days, submitting their existing licence, two passport-type photos and their residence permit.

Nationals of EU countries, Israel, Japan, Malta, Norway, Pakistan, Philippines, Switzerland and the US can swap their own licences for a Belgian one without the need to take a driving test.

Driving is on the right in Belgium, and the speed limits are 31 mph (50 kph) in built-up areas, 75 mph (120 kph) on motorways and 75 mph (120 kph) on other roads. It is compulsory to wear front and rear seat belts where fitted, and children below 12 are not allowed to travel in the front passenger seat. The maximum blood alcohol level permitted is 0.5 milligrams of alcohol per millilitre of blood.

There are various taxes associated with car ownership in Belgium. Circulation tax has to be paid to the Administration des Contributions Directes on purchase of the car. The level of this tax is based on the engine size of your car. Road tax, paid annually, is also based on the engine power and on whether your car is used for business purposes. Finally, there is a registration tax of EUR62. The rear number plate is sent to you in the post following registration and you are required to arrange for the front one to be made at one of the shops which provide this service.
