CertiDocsThe practical guide
Document without a seal in Belgium
No seal does not automatically mean fake. But it does mean you need to look more closely at what proves the record's origin and value.
Understand the processNo seal: identify the issued format
Link to this sectionCheck that you have the complete document: reverse side, annex, original digital file and any verification method provided by the issuer. The absence of a visible stamp alone does not establish whether a document is acceptable or invalid. Ask the recipient what is missing and the issuer how to verify the issued version.
For a Belgian sworn translation
Link to this sectionFPS Justice provides for a qualified electronic signature on sworn translations and a legalisation procedure, including when the professional cannot sign electronically. Do not limit checks to a printed stamp: verify the professional, languages, required details and signature in the original file. A screenshot cannot validate a digital signature.
