Which language for your documents in Brussels?
In Brussels, as everywhere in the Brussels-Capital Region, you can deal with the administration in French or in Dutch. The sworn translation should be in the language of your file: we check which one applies before translating, so your document isn't refused at the counter.
Common requests in Brussels
With international institutions, embassies and many international employers nearby, residents of Brussels often need diplomas, employment documents and civil-status records translated for registration with the municipality, or legalised for a posting abroad.
As an administrative centre, Brussels sees many procedures that call for official documents: registrations with the municipality, notarial deeds, applications to regional and provincial services.
