Sworn Translation of a passport
registered sworn translators
languages and variants
A passport translation makes identity details and annotations readable for the recipient. Our fixed fee covers the complete booklet, including every page, visa and stamp. A passport supplied only as identity evidence does not always need translation.

€102.85 incl. VAT for one complete document. One complete passport, all pages included. All pages are included. Payment follows acceptance by the professional.
This price covers translation, not the issue of the original document, an apostille or legalisation fees.

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
Translation is not renewal, a visa or a travel document. An unclear stamp must be flagged, never reconstructed. Check passport validity and entry conditions separately.
