Polish sworn translation in Liège: a well-established community need

Polish immigration to Liège has two distinct waves: miners and steelworkers who arrived in the interwar period and after the Second World War, and EU-freedom-of-movement migrants who came after Poland's 2004 accession to the European Union. Together, they form one of the most numerous Central European communities in Wallonia, with a steady requirement for certified Polish translation at every stage of life - birth registration, marriage, inheritance, naturalisation and retirement planning.

For all official procedures in Belgium, Polish-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. Unofficial translations, however accurate, are rejected. This applies to Liège communes, the Office des Étrangers, Belgian notaries and all Belgian courts.
