What makes this translation valid under Belgian law
- Since 1 December 2022, the electronic signature has replaced the sworn translator’s physical stamp. The translation must also meet the wording and signature requirements of Article 555/11, § 4 of the Judicial Code; specific procedures cover exceptions.
- A translation prepared by a registered translator must carry their VTI identification number.
- For use in Belgium, a registered translator electronically legalises their translation for authorised language combinations, with all required details. If electronic signing is unavailable, or a court appoints someone outside the register under Article 555/15, legalisation goes through FPS Justice.
- The FPS Justice public register lets you check a registered translator’s name, VTI and authorised languages. Court appointment outside the register under Article 555/15 is a regulated exception.

Frequently asked questions
+−Do the statutes include the register extract and annual accounts?
No. The fee covers one complete set of statutes with integral annexes. Register extracts, annual accounts and independent amending deeds are separate documents. Check whether the recipient needs the consolidated or a historical version.
+−How should I prepare this document before sending it?
Send the signed and complete version, annexes included. State the final recipient: notary, bank, court or employer. Flag whether signature pages, stamps or related certificates also need translation.
+−Is a sworn translation of “company statutes” always required?
No. It depends on the language, procedure, issuing country and receiving authority. An exemption or multilingual form may sometimes be enough. Confirm the requirement before paying.
+−Does a sworn translation guarantee acceptance of “company statutes”?
No. It certifies the translation’s conformity but does not fix the wrong record, an insufficiently recent date or missing authentication, apostille or legalisation. The receiving authority decides.
