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.

Identify the document and procedure

This certificate is neither a family record book nor automatic proof of parentage. Foreign registers may define households differently. Translation preserves the register’s terms and must not invent family relationships.

Frequently asked questions

+Does household composition replace a family record book?
No. It records members of a household according to the relevant register, while a family book contains civil status information. The recipient decides which it requires. Include every person and entry shown on the certificate.
+How should I prepare this document before sending it?
Send the complete certificate even if the procedure concerns only one member. Check birth dates and family relationships without altering the document yourself.
+Is a sworn translation of “household composition certificate” 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 “household composition certificate”?
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.
