English sworn translation in Namur: the regional capital's administrative reality

As the capital of the Walloon Region and the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, Namur is home to a concentration of Belgian and European civil servants, researchers attached to the University of Namur (UNamur), and international NGO staff. All of these groups may at some point present English-language documents - from UK or US civil status certificates to Australian criminal records - to Namur-based authorities: the SPW, the Namur commune, Belgian courts or notaries.

Belgian law requires that any foreign-language document submitted to a Belgian administration or court be accompanied by a sworn translation produced by a translator registered with SPF Justice and accredited by a Belgian Court of Appeal. The requirement applies regardless of the official's own English proficiency. Our sworn English translators cover documents from all English-speaking countries.
