Documents required 

You will need:

Create a new application

The time this will take depends on your case: anything from a few minutes to up to an hour.

1. Log in to MonEspace.
2. Select the company for which you are applying for a company passport:
1. If you are an authorised representative, please authenticate your mandate (watch the tutorial at the bottom of this page). The application for which you are the authorised representative will appear under ‘Third party files’. 
2. If your company does not appear on the list, you can request access rights by registering as a primary access manager [Gestionnaire d’accès principal] (see the procedure in the ‘Useful documents’ tab).
3. Once you are in MonEspace, click on ‘Nouvelle démarche’ [New procedure] and select ‘Passeport Entreprise’ [company passport].
4. Complete the company information (contact person and address). The email address you provide will be used for all communications relating to your application. Make sure you provide a valid email address that is checked regularly and can be accessed when you are away.
5. Provide an organisational chart: add the shareholders and shareholdings, and complete the details of the companies mentioned. 
6. Submit your application in two steps: confirm the details, then submit it. 
7. You will receive an acknowledgement of receipt by email. 
8. The company passport team will review your application. 
9. After your application has been reviewed, you will receive a proposal for a decision regarding the size of your business. 
1. You have 10 working days to validate or amend the decision by providing further information.
10. You will then receive the final notification along with the company passport, which is valid for one year.

Update a previous application

If you have already created an application since 16 March 2026, you can reuse the data from the previous file via the drop-down menu in the top right-hand corner of the screen.

Then follow the same steps as for a new application in order to complete and send the updated information.

• A financial plan if the company has not yet completed a financial year, showing the amounts (turnover and balance sheet total) for the first three years of trading.
• The company’s consolidated financial statements, where applicable.

• Commission Regulation (EU) No 651/2014 of 17 June 2014 declaring certain categories of aid compatible with the internal market in application of Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty Text with EEA relevance
• Annex 1 therein concerning the definition of an SME

If you wish to challenge the decision, you may contact the company passport team, lodge an appeal with the Council of State, or contact the Ombudsman for Wallonia and the French Community. 

In the event of an appeal for suspension or annulment before the Council of State, an application must be submitted to the Council, either by registered post (Rue de la Science 33, 1040 Brussels) or via the online procedure. The application for annulment must be filed within 60 days of the date of notification of the decision.
