Registering for Low Emission Zones in Belgium

Hi everyone! We’re planning a trip to Belgium, but I’m a bit confused about the LEZs! My car is new (purchased July 2025), hybrid petrol, and the registration certificate says Euro 6. Normally, I shouldn’t need to register for the LEZs in Ghent, Antwerp, or Brussels, right? But do I still need to register as a vehicle coming from France? Thanks for clarifying!

Best, Christophe

Hello,

You’ll have no problem driving around with your vehicle, but as a foreign vehicle, you still need to complete a prior registration... Check this site for Brussels: https://lez.brussels/mytax/fr/contact

However, with the lovely complexity of our different regions, I don’t think the process is valid for Flanders, so Ghent and Antwerp would require a second registration. But take a look here for Antwerp: https://www.slimnaarantwerpen.be/fr/lez?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=1361574908&gbraid=0AAAAADAiCEqNKBL0SaciAhXdZKhnSwvn_&gclid=Cj0KCQiAkPzLBhD4ARIsAGfah8g_bZF01Hn8hzqeXziYWGwuzxiBxl2ZHE3eZL7RztBxotbUKhJjY-UaAjeZEALw_wcB And on the City of Ghent website, you should be able to find information as well.
