Need a sworn Turkish translator in Liège for civil status documents, a family reunification file or an inheritance procedure? Liège is home to one of the largest Turkish communities in Belgium. Our translators are accredited by the Belgian Courts of Appeal and deliver certified Turkish-French and Turkish-Dutch translations within 24 hours.
The Turkish community in Liège and its translation needs
Turkish workers began arriving in Liège in the 1960s under bilateral labour agreements between Belgium and Turkey, initially to work in the steel and mining industries. Today, the Turkish community in Liège comprises several generations - from elderly first-generation migrants to Belgian-born grandchildren who may still hold dual nationality or have family members in Turkey requiring administrative interaction with Belgian authorities.
This community generates a constant and diverse demand for certified Turkish translation. Whether managing family reunification for a relative still in Turkey, accessing an inheritance involving Turkish property, registering a Turkish marriage certificate at a Liège commune, or submitting documents to the Office des Étrangers, Turkish-language documents must be accompanied by a sworn translation produced by a translator registered with SPF Justice and accredited by a Belgian Court of Appeal. Turkish civil status records, in particular, use a specific administrative register and format that requires specialist expertise.
