Antwerp is home to a significant Turkish community, concentrated in the Borgerhout and Berchem neighbourhoods. Between the OCMW Antwerpen, Stad Antwerpen services, and Turkish businesses at the port, the demand for sworn Dutch-Turkish translation is constant. Our translators registered with the FPS Justice cover all these needs.
The Turkish community in Antwerp: Borgerhout and beyond
Antwerp is one of the Flemish cities with the largest Turkish community. The Borgerhout and Berchem neighbourhoods have historically been the centres of this community, which includes both families established since the 1960s and more recent arrivals. Turkish businesses, cultural associations, and mosques bear witness to a deep-rooted presence in the Antwerp urban fabric.
This community maintains close ties with Turkey: real estate, binational marriages, remittances, and regular returns. These ties generate documentary needs in both directions — Turkish documents to translate into Dutch for Antwerp administrations, and Belgian documents to translate into Turkish for procedures in Turkey. Turkish merchants at the Port of Antwerp also have commercial document translation needs.

Legal obligation: the sworn translator in Flanders
In Antwerp, as throughout Flanders, only sworn translators registered with the FPS Justice can issue officially valid translations for public administrations. The OCMW Antwerpen, Stad Antwerpen services, DVZ, and Antwerp courts only accept translations bearing the official signature and stamp of a sworn translator.
For commercial documents between companies, a certified professional translation is generally sufficient. Our agency offers both levels and advises you on the appropriate certification depending on the destination institution.
