Italian sworn translation in Liège: historical roots and current needs
The Italian community in Liège is one of the oldest established migrant communities in the province. Tens of thousands of Italian workers arrived in the Liège coalfields after the Second World War under bilateral labour agreements. Their descendants - now Belgian nationals in many cases - still regularly need certified Italian translations: to access Italian inheritance rights, reconnect with Italian civil registry documents for nationality procedures, or manage cross-border property and notarial matters.
More recent Italian arrivals - professionals and students drawn to ULiègeand Liège's research institutions - also require sworn translations for Belgian administrative procedures: commune registration, the Office des Étrangers, and Belgian court proceedings involving Italian-language evidence. In all cases, Belgian authorities require that Italian documents be accompanied by a sworn translation produced by a translator registered with SPF Justice.
