Why Translate Your Transcript in Hasselt?
Hasselt, the capital of Belgian Limburg, is a booming university and industrial centre. The University of Hasselt (UHasselt) welcomes hundreds of international students every year, notably from the well-established Turkish community in the province. For these students, translating the transcript is often the essential first step.
The main reasons for translating a transcript in Hasselt are:
- Admission to UHasselt or other institutions in Limburg
- Degree equivalence from NARIC Flanders (Vlaanderen)
- Access to skilled employment via VDAB Limburg
- Immigration procedures and family reunification
- Training recognition in the healthcare or industrial sectors
NARIC Flanders and the Equivalence Procedure
In the Flemish Community, NARIC Vlaanderen (Nationaal Academisch Erkenningscentrum) manages applications for the recognition of foreign degrees. To submit a NARIC file from Hasselt, you will generally need:
- The original transcript (with apostille if the country has signed the Hague Convention)
- A certified translation into Dutch by a sworn translator
- The corresponding degree certificate and its translation
- A copy of your passport or identity card
Translation into Dutch is required for NARIC procedures in Flanders. A translation into French may be required for certain Walloon employers or bilingual institutions.

Pricing and Timelines in Hasselt

Frequently asked questions
Does UHasselt accept transcripts translated by TranslateBE?
Yes. Our translators are sworn before the Belgian courts, which guarantees the legal validity of the translation for Belgian universities, including UHasselt. We deliver a certified translation into Dutch, compliant with NARIC Flanders requirements.
My transcript is in Turkish. Which language should it be translated into?
For procedures in Flanders (NARIC, UHasselt, VDAB), the translation must be in Dutch. If you also have procedures in Wallonia or Brussels, a translation into French may be necessary. We can provide both languages in the same order.
How long does an express translation take in Hasselt?
We deliver within 24 business hours for urgent requests. If you place your order before 10 am, you will generally receive your translation the following morning. Delivery is in certified PDF, with a paper version available on request.
Does my Turkish transcript need an apostille?
Turkey is a signatory to the Hague Convention. For official procedures in Belgium (NARIC, universities), an apostille on the original document is generally required in addition to the translation. We recommend checking the specific requirements of the institution before ordering.
