The Turkish community in Ghent and sworn translation needs

The Turkish community has deep roots in Ghent, with families established in the city for several generations. New arrivals through family reunification, along with Turkish entrepreneurs and students, continue to require certified translations of civil status documents, property deeds and commercial agreements. Turkish documents - including family registration records (nüfus cüzdanı) and civil status extracts from Turkish municipalities - have specific administrative formats that require experienced sworn translators familiar with Turkish civil registry conventions.

Only a translator registered with SPF Justice and accredited by a Belgian Court of Appeal can produce a legally valid sworn translation. Informal translations are rejected by the DVZ, Ghent City Hall and Belgian courts.

Frequently asked questions

Can you translate Turkish family registration records (nüfus) for the DVZ?

Yes. Turkish nüfus kayıt örneği (family registration extracts) are among the most frequently requested documents for family reunification files in Belgium. Our sworn translators are very familiar with this format and its administrative terminology.

Does Ghent City Hall accept sworn Turkish translations ordered online?

Yes. The legal validity of a sworn translation depends on the translator's accreditation by a Belgian Court of Appeal, not on the ordering channel. Online orders carry the same legal weight as in-person orders.

Can I get both Dutch and French versions of my sworn Turkish translation?

Yes. If your file needs to reach both Dutch-speaking and French-speaking Belgian authorities, we can produce both versions. Please state this in your quote request.
