How to apply
In Herstal, requests to occupy the public road (including for a move) are handled by the local police mobility service. Fill in the ‘Demande d’occupation de la voie publique’ form and hand it in at the police station reception or send it by e-mail; there is no fully online application. The police reply by e-mail within 5 working days.
| When to apply | Ask the municipality about the notice period and apply as soon as your date is fixed. |
| Cost | Ask the municipality for details. |
| Who places the signs? | Ask the municipality |
| Limits and furniture lift | The request also covers cranes, scaffolding, containers and furniture lifts; placing a container requires a separate form. Signs must comply with the Walloon Government decree of 16/12/2020 (as amended, in force 28/11/2024). The permit must be available on site. |

How it works
- 1Describe your move, once
Route, floors, furniture, options and, if you like, up to 15 photos (rooms and access): about 3 minutes.
- 2Confirm your e-mail
One click on the link we e-mail you confirms your request. It is checked, then passed to a mover.
- 3One verified mover receives your request
They have 2 hours to accept it (counted between 8 am and 9 pm). A request confirmed between 9 pm and 8 am is passed to a mover from 8 am. If they decline or do not reply, your request goes to the next mover.
- 4You receive their quote through Movzo
They send it within 5 hours (same hours). You accept or decline it; if it does not suit you, you can ask once for another mover.
- 5You deal directly with the mover
Quote accepted: you receive their contact details and they receive yours. You agree and pay directly with them, then you leave a review after the move.
Before you move
- Parking permit: reserve the space with the municipality, from a few days to more than a month ahead, depending on the municipality. See how it works
- Furniture lift: from the 2nd floor without a lift, it often saves a lot of time.
- Register your address with your new municipality within 8 working days; a local police officer will visit to confirm.
- Dates: the end of the month and summer are busy. Book 4 to 6 weeks ahead.
