A Belgian identity card (Dutch: Identiteitskaart, French: Carte d’identité, German: Personalausweis) is a national identity card issued to all citizens of Belgium aged 12 years old and above.

Foreigners resident in Belgium are issued with a Belgian resident card (Dutch: Verblijfstitel, French: Titre de séjour, German: Aufenthaltstitel), which appears similar, but is legally distinct.

Nevertheless, the term "identity card" is often used to refer to both the identity cards issued to citizens and the resident cards issued to foreigners.
