Which language for your documents in Antwerp?
Antwerp is in Flanders, where municipalities and most administrations work in Dutch. A document in another language, whether a foreign birth certificate or a diploma, therefore usually has to be submitted with a sworn translation into Dutch. We also translate Dutch documents into French, German, English and other languages when you need them abroad or in another region.
Common requests in Antwerp
Import, export and logistics businesses around Antwerp rely on legalised commercial documents: invoices, certificates of origin and powers of attorney, often with consular legalisation for countries outside the Apostille Convention.
Companies in and around Antwerp regularly ask us for translations of articles of association, contracts and company extracts, with an apostille or legalisation when a subsidiary, tender or client abroad requires it.
