Not every translator is allowed to translate an official document. You need a sworn translator, who first took an exam to prove his aptitude. Afterwards, he or she will swear an oath before a Court of First Instance in one or more Belgian legal districts. The same procedure applies to a sworn interpreter.   

SWORN TRANSLATOR  
A sworn translator places his stamp, signature and certification on a translation, certifying that it is a complete and true translation. If necessary, the translator will also have his signature legalised by the president or clerk of the court where he or she swore the oath.
