Do you need a sworn or legalised translation? We offer a personal service, work very discretely and deliver high-quality translations. Rest assured that your official documents are in good hands.

Translatio can help you out with sworn translations from French, German and English into Dutch and from Dutch into English.

Our sworn translations are valid throughout Belgium and abroad. Do you require a sworn translation for use abroad? Then you might also need to have that translation legalised by the National Register and apostilled by the FPS Foreign Affairs. We are happy to assist you with that. Do you have any questions, or do you require more information? Please do not hesitate to contact us.

For use in Belgium: a sworn/legalised translation contains the signature, VTI number, and a special authenticated digital signature of a translator who has sworn an oath and is listed in the Belgian National Register. If the document is intended to be used in Belgium, the translator can legalise it himself/herself straight away by means of his/her authenticated digital signature. This means that the translation is immediately legally valid and can be submitted to the competent Belgian authority.

For use abroad, a sworn translation suffices in some cases. Sometimes, however, some documents must also be legalised by the National Register (Legalisation department of the FPS Justice) and apostilled by the FPS Foreign Affairs in order to be valid abroad. Please check with the relevant authority or consult the relevant website via this link.

You no longer have to make an appointment with the National Register and the FPS Foreign Affairs and go to Brussels in person. Since 01/12/22, translators listed in the National Register can request the extra legalisation by the NR and the legalisation/apostille by the FPS Foreign Affairs for you.
