Yes, since December 2016 all holders of Pay&Go cards without automatic top-ups have been required to register. This also applies to cards in alarm systems, home automation appliances or other devices that contain a Pay&Go card. You can identify yourself immediately in a Proximus Shop or identify your Pay&Go card online.
