Belgium and Denmark maintain solid commercial and diplomatic relations, strengthened by their shared membership of the European Union. Whether you need to translate an official Danish document, a commercial contract or a civil status record, our certified Danish translators in Belgium provide a fast and certified response.
Why use a Danish translator in Belgium?
Danish is the national language of Denmark, spoken by approximately 6 million people. Although rarely encountered outside Scandinavia, it is regularly required in Belgium for specific reasons: Danish nationals residing in Belgium (notably in Brussels, in the context of European institutions), Belgian companies with Danish business partnerships, and judicial or administrative procedures involving documents in Danish.
- Civil status documents: Danish birth, marriage and death certificates to be legalised before Belgian administrations - the National Register, municipalities, FPS Justice.
- Diplomas and qualifications: Recognition of Danish diplomas by NARIC Belgium for access to higher education or regulated professions.
- Contracts and commercial documents: Partnership agreements, distribution contracts, technical documentation for Belgian-Danish companies.
- Court proceedings: Translation of judgements, notarial deeds or procedural documents for Belgian courts.
Specific documents and legal requirements for Danish translation in Belgium
In Belgium, the translation of Danish documents for official use must be carried out by a sworn translator-interpreter registered with the FPS Justice (National Register of Judicial Experts). Our network of certified Danish translators covers the whole of Belgium - Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Liège, Charleroi. Each translation is accompanied by an official stamp and a certificate of conformity with the original.
Danish has specific orthographic and grammatical features (letters æ, ø, å; common/neuter gender) that only a native or highly experienced translator masters fully. Our translators are native speakers or have lived in Denmark, guaranteeing accurate and natural translations.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I have a Danish judgement translated for recognition in Belgium?
Yes. The recognition and enforcement of a foreign judgement in Belgium (exequatur procedure) requires a certified translation of the judgement into French or Dutch depending on the competent jurisdiction. Our certified Danish translators are experienced with this type of legal document.
Do you accept documents in old Danish or dialect?
For historical documents or documents in old Danish script, we call on translators specialised in archaic language or Scandinavian dialectology. This type of request is less common but entirely feasible - contact us to assess the requirements.
Is the translation accepted by Belgian municipal administrations?
Yes. Translations produced by our sworn translator-interpreters registered with the FPS Justice are accepted by all Belgian administrations: municipalities, the National Register, courts and tribunals, the FPS Foreign Affairs and NARIC. This is the only form of translation with official legal value in Belgium.
Do you also translate from French or Dutch into Danish?
Yes, we offer translation in both directions. For Belgian companies wishing to market their products in Denmark or communicate with Danish partners, we provide French or Dutch into Danish translations with native editorial quality.
