@umairsaeed01 If you are a Belgian citizen and she has been recognized as spouse of Belgian, She is not required to present this proof.

@ARMaliq

thanks for the info,

but I am not a Belgian citizen and we will most likely be applying for the citizenship together.

so by your answer does this mean that I have to apply first and then once I get the citizenship apply her F card and then apply for citizenship? is there anyother way ?

@umairsaeed01 Could be the only option but being not an expert, i would suggest to ask commune to see what they say about it. Hopefully someone who have been in the same situation could comment on your issue.

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know where I can request an official attestation showing the number of working days I鈥檝e completed in Belgium? I鈥檓 aware that student jobs are usually counted in hours, but I鈥檝e read that they can be converted into working days (e.g. 38 hours = 5 working days) and might count toward the 468-day work requirement for applying for Belgian citizenship.

I can see a summary of my work history on mycareer.be, but I need an official attestation document. Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!
