Polish sworn translation in Namur: EU mobility and administrative needs
Polish nationals exercising their right of free movement within the EU have settled across Wallonia in significant numbers, particularly since Poland's 2004 EU accession. The Namur province has received Polish workers in construction, agriculture, logistics and healthcare - sectors that have actively recruited from Central Europe. These residents, and their families joining them through family reunification, regularly need certified Polish translations for commune registration, the Office des Étrangers, Belgian courts and notaries.
Even as EU citizens - who do not need a visa - Polish nationals must still provide certified translations of their Polish civil status documents when registering at a Namur commune, contracting a marriage in Belgium or accessing Belgian inheritance procedures. Only a sworn translator registered with SPF Justice and accredited by a Belgian Court of Appeal can produce these translations.

Can you translate Polish inheritance documents for a Namur notary?
Absolutely. Polish succession certificates, wills and notarial acts are regularly translated for Belgian cross-border inheritance procedures. Our sworn translations are accepted by Belgian notarial offices.
Can the translation be produced in both French and Dutch?
