Foreign job students
Sigedis cannot assign a belgianIDpro number to foreign job students. In that case the employer can submit a Dimona declaration without a belgianIDpro number. The employer must then have minimum identification data: surname, first name, date and place of birth, sex, address.
Occasional employees in agriculture and horticulture
Sigedis also cannot assign a belgianIDpro number to casual workers in agriculture and horticulture. These workers must go to their municipality to obtain a belgianIDpro number.
