What frames this file straight away
Before you even follow the procedure step by step, these are usually the axes that matter.
Common translations
Romanian-French, French-Dutch, English-French, German-French
Related cities

What the authority will really test here
In this kind of file, the blockage usually comes from proof, sequencing and consistency, not polished wording.
Records that need to line up
This procedure is usually read through Diploma, Transcript, Residence permit. Names, dates and references need to stay aligned from one record to the next.
Which official reading matters
Leuven, Ghent will compare the source record with Romanian-French, French-Dutch and wants the issuing authority, date and registry references to be easy to spot.
Order of formalities
The 5 official sources mainly help keep the sequence sharp: recent record first, any apostille or legalisation next, then the right filing step.
How to build this file more intelligently
Before you order anything or file the case, these are the three small choices that usually make the difference.
What needs to be stable first
Lock down Diploma, Transcript, Residence permit first, then recheck names, dates and references across the surrounding records.
The order that avoids duplicate work
Correct source version first, then any apostille or legalisation, only then the sworn translation and the filing step.
What almost everyone forgets
Romanian-French, French-Dutch and the annexes around Diploma, Transcript, Residence permit are often exactly what Leuven, Ghent needs to reread the file without doubt.
Why does Romania change the way a university reads the file?
Because a diploma issued from Romania sits inside a training system, study years and annexes that the Belgian university must place back into its own framework.
What does the university want to read?
The level, the duration, the programme label, the annexes and the coherence of the admission file around the diploma.
Where does the file lose the most strength?
When the diploma is translated on its own, without the annexes that explain the real academic path.
Documents to prepare
- Original diploma or certified copy that is fully readable
- Transcripts, supplements or attestations tied to the study path
- Apostille or legalisation if required
- Sworn translation of the records the university will actually read
- Identity record and admission-file elements that stay aligned
Steps to follow
1
Identify the exact university use case
Check whether the file is for admission, enrolment, an exemption or another academic review.
2
Gather the useful academic package
Add transcripts, supplements and attestations that give the diploma its real substance.
3
Authenticate and then translate
If an apostille or legalisation is needed, handle it before ordering the sworn translation.
4
Submit a coherent file
Submit the diploma, annexes and translation in an order that helps the university reread the path without guessing.
Good to know
The university reads the path, not just the title
For a diploma issued from Romania, a Belgian university often wants to reread the study structure, the covered years and the link with the transcripts.
The right annex matters more than a pretty cover page
The classic trap is translating the diploma and forgetting the annexes or attestations that give it real academic meaning.

Get matchedFrequently asked questions
+−Is a diploma issued from Romania enough on its own for a Belgian university?
Not always. Transcripts and annexes often matter just as much as the diploma itself.
+−Do supplements and attestations need to be translated?
Yes if the university has to read them to understand the level or the path.
+−Does translation replace the apostille?
No. Each step does its own job, and translation does not cover authentication.
+−Does the same file work for every university?
Not necessarily. The precise goal of the filing changes what needs to be made readable.
+−Does this page replace the university?
No. It helps prepare a cleaner file before submission.
