Hello,

I got my passport renewed a few weeks ago as my old passport is expiring next June. Should I communicate my new passport details to any Belgian authorities?

thanks

Hello,

no, nobody care about that, they'll immediately know once you cross the border to an international flight / internal flight if you're not EU.

It's just a "new" valid document to proof that you're yourself, they don't need it as long as you've a resident permit which has higher value to the local administration.

No, there is no need. as Alex said, all your data in Belgium is associated to your national number.
