Permis de conduire (Driver's Licence) - Belgian driving licences use the standard EU credit-card format. If your licence is in French, we translate both sides including all EU vehicle category codes, restrictions, and the issuing municipality. Required for driving in Australia, licence conversion, and car rental. For licences in Dutch (Flemish) or German, please contact us before ordering so we can confirm options.
Extrait d'acte de naissance (Birth Certificate) - Belgian birth certificates vary by region. Wallonia and Brussels issue documents in French, these we translate directly under our NAATI-certified service. For Flanders birth certificates in Dutch (Flemish) or German-speaking community certificates in German, please contact us before ordering.
Acte de mariage / Huwelijksakte (Marriage Certificate) - Issued by the Belgian commune where the marriage was registered. Required for partner visa applications, name changes, and family payment claims with Centrelink in Australia.
Passeport (Passport) - Belgian passports are multilingual; the identity page is rendered in all three official languages. We translate the French content on the identity page and any French-language endorsements for visa applications, bank account openings, and identity verification.
Diplôme (Diploma) - Belgian diplomas from secondary school (CESS) through to university-level (bachelier, master). We translate diplomas issued in French by the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles. For Dutch-language (Vlaamse Gemeenschap) or German-language diplomas, please contact us before ordering. Required for skills assessment and university enrolment in Australia.
Relevé de notes (Academic Transcript) - Belgian academic transcripts listing courses, grades, and credits. Belgian universities use the ECTS credit system; French-speaking institutions grade on a /20 scale. We translate French-language transcripts accurately, including grading scale conversion notes.
Certificat médical / Medisch attest (Medical Certificate) - Medical certificates issued by Belgian doctors for visa health requirements, workplace clearances, or insurance claims in Australia.
Extrait de casier judiciaire (Police Check) - The Belgian police clearance certificate (model 1, 2, or 3) issued by your commune. We translate French-language police checks directly. Required for Working Holiday Visas, employer background checks, and volunteer work with children in Australia. For certificates issued in Dutch (Flemish) or German, please contact us before ordering.
Jugement de divorce / Echtscheidingsvonnis (Divorce Certificate) - Belgian divorce judgments issued by the tribunal de la famille (French) or familierechtbank (Dutch). Required for remarriage, partner visa applications, and updating marital status with Australian authorities.
Common situations for Belgian nationals in Australia
Working Holiday Visa (subclass 417) - Belgium has a Working Holiday agreement with Australia. Belgian WHV holders typically need a translated driving licence and police check before starting work. The WHV package bundles both documents for AU$109 AUD.
Driving and licence conversion - Belgian driving licences use the EU format and are straightforward to translate. However, you still need a NAATI-certified English translation to drive legally in Australia or convert to a local licence. Queensland TMR does not accept International Driving Permits for conversion.
Partner visa application - Belgian nationals applying for or sponsoring a partner visa (subclass 820/801) need NAATI-certified translations of birth certificates, marriage certificates, police checks, and identity documents. Bilingual Belgian documents (common in Brussels) are translated from all languages present.
Skills recognition and study - Belgian qualifications are well regarded internationally. For skills assessment with bodies like VETASSESS, Engineers Australia, or CPA Australia, you need NAATI-certified translations of your diplomas and academic transcripts. Belgian ECTS credits transfer well to Australian university systems.
Tips for Belgian documents
Bilingual documents from Brussels - Brussels documents are frequently issued in both French and Dutch (Flemish). Our NAATI-certified service covers the French portions of these mixed-language documents. For the Dutch portions, contact us before ordering, we'll confirm whether we can handle the full document or only the French sections.
Regional variations in format - Documents from Wallonia are in French and follow formats similar to France. Documents from Flanders are in Dutch and use different terminology and layout. Documents from the German-speaking community (Eupen, Malmedy) are in German. Our NAATI-certified translators cover French. For Dutch or German Belgian documents, we work case-by-case, please reach out before placing your order.
EU driving licence format - Belgian permis de conduire issued after 2013 follow the standard EU credit-card format with harmonised category codes. Older pink or green licences use the same categories but in a different layout. We translate all Belgian licence formats, old and new.
Police check model numbers - Belgium issues three models of police clearance: Model 1 (general), Model 2 (for working with minors), and Model 3 (specific activities). For Australian purposes, Model 1 is usually sufficient for visa applications and employer checks. Upload whichever model you have and we will translate it accurately.
