Belgium Random Address Generator
Generate authentic Belgian addresses with valid postal codes from Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, and all regions. Bilingual (French/Dutch) formatting for testing.
Bonjour. Goedendag.
Belgium is complicated.
Three official languages (Dutch, French, German). Three regions (Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels). Two communities that barely agree on anything. And addresses that reflect this beautiful mess.
If you're testing for the Belgian market. If you're validating EU shipping. If you're building anything that handles Belgian addresses. You need to understand that Belgian addresses aren't just "European addresses." They're Belgian. Which means they're bilingual, regionally specific, and formatted according to which part of Belgium you're addressing.
Real Belgian addresses look like "Rue de la Loi 16, 1000 Bruxelles" (French) or "Wetstraat 16, 1000 Brussel" (Dutch). Same street. Two names. Welcome to Belgium.

How Belgian Addresses Work
Belgian addresses follow a European format with Belgian-specific quirks.
The standard Belgian address format:
Line 1: Street name + Street number (number after name, European style)
Line 2: Postal code + City
Line 3: BELGIUM (for international mail)
Rue de la Loi 16
1000 Bruxelles
BELGIUM
Belgian complexities:
- Bilingual city names: Brussels = Bruxelles (French) or Brussel (Dutch)
- Street numbers after names: "Rue de la Loi 16" not "16 Rue de la Loi"
- Four-digit postal codes: 1000-9999 range
- Regional language preferences: Flanders uses Dutch, Wallonia uses French, Brussels uses both
Bilingual Addressing in Brussels:
Many Brussels streets have both French and Dutch names:
- Rue Royale (French) = Koningsstraat (Dutch)
- Avenue Louise (French) = Louizalaan (Dutch)
- Rue de la Loi (French) = Wetstraat (Dutch)
Both are correct. Use depends on language preference.
Understanding Belgian Postal Codes
Belgian postal codes are four digits: XXXX (range 1000-9999)
How they're organized by region:
Brussels-Capital Region:
- 1000-1299 = Brussels and surrounding municipalities
- 1000 = Brussels city center
- 1050 = Ixelles/Elsene
- 1200 = Woluwe-Saint-Lambert
Flanders (Dutch-speaking):
- 2000-3999 = Antwerp province
- 2000 = Antwerp city center
- 3000 = Leuven
- 8000-9999 = West/East Flanders
- 8000 = Bruges
- 9000 = Ghent
Wallonia (French-speaking):
- 4000-7999 = Southern Belgium
- 4000 = Liège
- 5000 = Namur
- 6000 = Charleroi
- 7000 = Mons
Why our Belgian postal codes work:
Every postal code we generate is exactly four digits, matches the correct region (Flanders/Wallonia/Brussels), falls within legitimate ranges for each city, and aligns with bpost (Belgian postal service) guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these real Belgian addresses?
A: They use authentic Belgian postal codes and proper formatting, but the combinations are randomly generated. Perfect for testing EU/Belgian applications. Not for bpost delivery.
Q: Why do some addresses have French names and others Dutch?
A: Because Belgium is officially bilingual (French and Dutch). Flanders uses Dutch. Wallonia uses French. Brussels is officially bilingual, so both languages are used. If you're testing for the Belgian market, your system MUST handle both languages.
Q: Should I use "Bruxelles" or "Brussel" for Brussels?
A: Both are correct. "Bruxelles" is French. "Brussel" is Dutch. In Brussels itself, both are used interchangeably. Choose based on your user's language preference or use both with language detection.
Q: Do Belgian addresses use commas?
A: Not typically in the address lines themselves. Format is:
Street name + number
Postal code + City
No comma between postal code and city (unlike US format).
Q: Can I generate addresses for specific Belgian cities?
A: Yes. Use the city filter for Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Liège, and other major cities.
Q: What about the German-speaking community?
A: Belgium's small German-speaking community (about 77,000 people) is in eastern Wallonia. Postal codes 4700-4790 cover this area. We include these in our Wallonia addresses.
Q: Will these work for testing Belgian VAT?
A: Yes. Belgium's standard VAT rate is 21%. Our addresses help test whether your system correctly identifies Belgian billing/shipping addresses for EU VAT purposes.
