What is an Apostille Document?

An apostille is an official certificate that proves a document is genuine, so it can be accepted in another country. In simple terms:

• What it is: a certificate attached to your document by the government.
• Who issues it in Belgium: the Legalisation Service of the Federal Public Service (FPS) Foreign Affairs, which can issue it electronically as an e-apostille.
• What it confirms: the signature, seal or stamp of the Belgian official on the document. It does not verify the content of the document itself.
• Where it is accepted: in all countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention, which Belgium has been part of since 1976, with no further certification needed.
• Countries outside the Convention: an extra step, consular legalisation, is usually required (see Consulate Legalisation Services below).

For example, if a Belgian company needs to open a bank account or sign a contract in Spain, an apostilled Certificate of Good Standing shows the Spanish authorities that the document genuinely came from the Belgian Commercial Court.

Professional Retrieval and Apostille Services for Belgium Company Documents

When conducting international business or legal transactions, having authenticated company documents is often a requirement. Belgian company documents are apostilled to confirm their legitimacy for use overseas.

We simplify the process of obtaining apostilled Belgian company documents. We offer a specialised service handling every stage: retrieval of the official certificate from the Belgian Commercial Court, followed by the apostille from the Legalisation Service of the FPS Foreign Affairs.

Simply provide the company’s name when placing your order. We source the official documents, manage the apostille submission and track every step to ensure timely delivery.

Using our dedicated retrieval and apostille service is particularly beneficial for international businesses, legal professionals, and individuals who require guaranteed authenticity on tight timelines.

Consulate Legalisation Services

We can assist with Consulate or embassy legalisation. While a Belgian apostille certifies documents for use in countries that are parties to the Hague Apostille Convention, some countries require an additional layer of authorisation. In these cases, company documents must undergo consular legalisation, meaning they must be authorised by the consulate or embassy of the country where the documents will be used.

We understand that navigating consular legalisation can be complex due to varying requirements, forms, and processing times set by different embassies and consulates. Our team is well-versed in the procedures for countries where consular authorisation is mandatory and can handle the entire consular submission process on your behalf, ensuring your Belgian company documents are ready for use in even the most stringent jurisdictions.

If you require these services please contact us using our contact us form or through our live chat.

Apostilled Certificate of Good Standing – Certificate of Non-Bankruptcy

In Belgium, companies are registered with the Commercial Court and their details are filed with the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (KBO). The Belgian equivalent of a Certificate of Good Standing is the Certificat d’Inscription, issued by the Commercial Court of Brussels and signed and stamped by the Tribunal de Commerce de Bruxelles. It confirms:

• Full company name
• Company registration number
• The company’s registered address
• Date of incorporation

Once the certificate is issued, we submit it to the Legalisation Service of the FPS Foreign Affairs for the apostille, so it is ready for use in any country that is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention.
