An apostille is a declaration that is added to a document by an official authority and that meets the form requirements mentioned in the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961. In Belgium, apostilles are issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
An apostilled document is valid for use in all countries that are signatories to the Apostille Convention.
To receive an apostille, you have to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Brussels in person.
Certified translations can also receive an apostille, but in that case the translation first needs to be legalized by the court of first instance and by the Ministry of Justice.
Can't make it to Brussels? We can also take care of the apostille for you. That saves you the burden of looking for a parking spot, waiting in the long queues and respecting the limited opening times of the official institutions.
If you need an apostille, please contact us and we will send you a custom quote within one hour on working days.

Excellent and fast service. I was able to submit all the necessary documents and translations to the town hall in time for our wedding.
We wanted to get married in Belgium and the official at the city hall required certified translations of our birth certificates and other official documents. We uploaded our files to certifiedtranslations.be and they were ready for shipping in less than a week. Great service!
I got married in Madagascar and to register my marriage in Belgium we had to have several documents translated. Certifiedtranslations.be didn't only take care of the translation but also of the court legalization, which meant a lot less paperwork for us. Thanks again!
To complete my master's degree in Belgium, I had to have my UK diploma translated into Dutch. I used certifiedtranslations.be and I immediately knew when I was going to get my translation. Very satisfied with their service!
For my internship in Belgium, I had to submit a sworn translation of my diploma a few months in advance. I contacted certifiedtranslations.be and they helped me with this. I received the Spanish translation after just a few days and was able to send them to Peru in time. Thanks for the excellent service!
