Ukrainian refugees in Liège: administrative translation needs
The Province of Liège is one of the main reception areas for Ukrainian nationals who arrived in Belgium under temporary protection. The Liège CPAS, housing services and school networks have handled thousands of dossiers since 2022, creating a sustained demand for sworn translations of Ukrainian documents into French. Unlike Brussels or Ghent, where bilingual FR-NL procedures are common, Liège operates almost exclusively in French, making Ukrainian-to-French the dominant language combination for this region.
Beyond the temporary protection context, Liège also has a longer-established Ukrainian and Eastern European population, including students at the University of Liège and workers in the industrial and logistics sectors. These communities regularly need sworn translations for civil status procedures, diploma recognition and naturalisation files.
