Translation Of Official Documents
What exactly is a “certified translation” of an official document?
For our purposes, an official document is a statement in writing issued by a government or a recognised authority confirming a person’s status or identity, or certifying a fact. Governmental, judicial and academic institutions in Belgium and generally require a certified translation of any official document issued abroad.
In Belgium, the translation of official documents is subject to strict rules, which may be summed up as follows :
- An official document must be translated by a certified translator. The translation of an official document must be accompanied by a statement signed by the certified translator to the effect that it was produced in accordance with trade practice, and is an accurate reflection of the original.
- The certified translator must imprint the appropriate seal on each page of the translation and on the signed statement mentioned above.
- In many cases, the original and the translation must be signed and sealed together.
