Which language for your documents in Leuven?
Leuven 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.
