    Only since December 2018 has Belgium started to make post-1915 civil registration records available to the public. The limits are now 50 years for deaths (i.e. 1969 and earlier as of 2020).

    I looked at the website of the State Archives of Belgium. It appears that a tienjarigetafel (10 year index) of deaths up to 1920 is available, but the actual records are only there up to 1910.

    On the FS Catalog, I see film 4796350 has deaths from 1911-1920. But it is restricted to FHCs and Affiliate Libraries (often closed due to the pandemic). I suggest contacting FS and sending them this link: https://search.arch.be/nl/tips/101-bu... which has information about the new laws about access to civil registration records. Hopefully they'll look into making the film accessible to all from a computer from home, as they are now legally permitted to. However, having tried this myself for other records, FS may never respond or may take a very long time.
