Procedures that require a translated diploma
Diploma recognition
The equivalence service of the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles or NARIC-Vlaanderen may ask for a translation of your diplomas and transcripts.
Higher education enrolment
Belgian universities and university colleges often ask for foreign diplomas to be translated.
Regulated profession
Doctors, nurses, architects… authorisation to practise depends on recognition of the diploma.
Applications and employment
An employer or public service may ask for a translation of your diploma.
Studying or working abroad
Your Belgian diploma must be understood abroad: sworn translation and, often, an apostille.
Student visa
Embassies sometimes ask for translated diplomas for a student visa.
A foreign diploma for a procedure in Belgium
For diploma recognition, the competent service (Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles for French-speaking education, NARIC-Vlaanderen for Dutch-speaking education) publishes the list of documents and languages it accepts. If your diploma or transcript is not written in an accepted language, you will be asked for a sworn translation.
Depending on the country of origin, certified copies, originals or a legalisation may also be required. Check the list of documents before ordering: we translate exactly what is requested, nothing more.
A Belgian diploma for use abroad
Before the apostille or legalisation by the FPS Foreign Affairs, a Belgian diploma must be authenticated: by the French or Flemish Community for higher education and Community schools, or by the commune for certain subsidised schools.
We then translate the diploma and transcript into the language of the destination country, and take care of legalising the translation.
