German sworn translation in Namur: regional and institutional context
Belgium has three official language communities, and the German-speaking Community (Deutschsprachige Gemeinschaft) - centred in the Cantons de l'Est around Eupen and Malmedy - is administered partly through Namur's Walloon regional institutions. As a result, Namur-based authorities regularly process German-language documents, and civil servants, courts and notaries in Namur receive files involving the Belgian German-speaking Community alongside documents from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg.
Beyond the Belgian German-speaking context, Namur also serves residents who have professional or family ties to Germany or Austria. For all these procedures, German-language documents submitted to Namur authoritiesmust be accompanied by a sworn translation produced by a translator registered with SPF Justice and accredited by a Belgian Court of Appeal. Our sworn German translators cover all German-speaking countries' document formats.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do Namur authorities accept certified German translations ordered online?
Yes. Belgian authorities verify accreditation by a Court of Appeal, not the ordering method. An online sworn translation is fully legally valid.
Can you translate Swiss German documents (Schriftdeutsch)?
Yes. Swiss official documents are written in Standard German (Schriftdeutsch), not in Swiss dialect. Our sworn translators handle Swiss civil status, academic and legal documents without difficulty.
I need a German document translated for both Walloon and federal procedures - can you produce French and Dutch versions?
Absolutely. We can produce both a French and a Dutch sworn translation of the same German document. Please specify both language pairs when requesting your quote.
