  "description": "The Federal Public Service Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation's (SPF Affaires étrangères / FOD Buitenlandse Zaken, branded publicly as \"diplomatie.belgium.be\") \"Demande de passeport\" (Formulaire pour adultes et enfants à partir de 6 ans) — the ordinary passport application for adults and children aged 6 and older, filed at a Belgian consular post abroad or a Belgian municipal administration. Fetched directly and unauthenticated as a static PDF from diplomatie.belgium.be. Opens Belgium as a new jurisdiction in the registry (GOV-4645, \"GovSchema Standard Research\"), picked up from a candidate scouted and banked during GOV-4638's parallel new-jurisdiction pass alongside Hungary and Tunisia. This edition is the French-language specimen; the same form is also published in parallel, functionally identical Dutch- and German-language editions. This schema does not submit the application itself; the live source is always authoritative. GovSchema is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Government of Belgium or its Federal Public Service Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation.",
