See the page →Does your document need an apostille or legalisation?
Before it can be used in Belgium, a document issued outside the European Union usually has to be authenticated in its country of origin. The procedure depends on the country that issued it:
| Country of origin of the document | Formality before translation |
|---|---|
| Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan | Apostille issued by the competent authority of the country |
| Tajikistan, Turkmenistan | Legalisation by the authorities of the country, then by the competent Belgian consular post |
The apostille is affixed to the original document, in the country that issued it. An apostille or legalisation does not in itself guarantee that the document will be accepted: the Belgian authorities may ask for other documents.
An old or Soviet-era certificate?
Certificates issued in the USSR, often handwritten, are still used for many procedures. We translate them with care; a legible scan speeds up the quote. If the Belgian authority asks for a recent certificate, you may need to order a duplicate in the country that issued it.
For your Belgian documents intended for Russia or another Russian-speaking country, we translate into Russian and arrange the apostille of the translation with the FPS Foreign Affairs.

Frequently asked questions about sworn translation from Russian
Does my Russian certificate need an apostille?
In principle, yes: Russia applies the Hague Apostille Convention. The apostille is affixed in Russia, on the original document, before the sworn translation.
What about a Ukrainian, Belarusian or Kazakh document?
Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan also apply the apostille. For a document from Tajikistan or Turkmenistan, legalisation is required.
My name is spelled differently in my documents: what should I do?
Give us the spelling used in your passport or residence card: we use it in the translation, so that your documents match.
Do you translate into Dutch and English?
Yes. We translate from Russian into French, Dutch and English, and vice versa.
How much does a sworn translation from Russian cost?
The price depends on the document, its length and the deadline. Send a photo: you receive a fixed price within 5 minutes.
