Ok, so after a computer crash... The 'rijksregisternummer' which would be the number that comes into existence when a civil servant of the service 'Bevolking' (service that takes care of everything apart from divorce, marriage and birth) puts in certain details about a person for the first time (at birth) would be the number you are looking for. It is also the one found on the social security card (SIS) and as far as I know the only number by which a person is really identified in Belgium. However, let us say that a woman is older than her husband, she would have the lowest number as those numbers start with date of birth (year-month-day). so essentially she would come first above her husband in the list of the civil register, but her husband is still, officially, the head of the family. If she does not work, she falls under her husband's social security, as well as the children, although his number may be of a higher order than hers. What is the form for? |
