Legalisation (apostil)

   Starting from March 16, 2007, the Hague Convention on Apostille (from 5 October 1961) has entered into force for Moldova. From this day on, foreign official documents that are to be used in the Republic of Moldova can be accepted on the basis of a valid apostil. See below the contact details of relevant authorities:

   Documents issued in Belgium which are to be produced abroad must be legalised by the Legalisations Service of the federal Public Foreign Affairs Service in Brussels.

   Documents issued by a Belgian municipal administration must be signed by the registrar (and not by the official delegated). Often this will be the burgomaster or a deputy burgomaster.

   Translations of Belgian documents drawn up by a sworn translator in Belgium will be legalised by the president of the court of first instance to which the translator is answerable, and then by the Federal Justice public service, Chaussee de Waterloo, 115, 1000 Brussels.

   First you will need to have the document legalised by the Ministry of Justice, and then by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This is possible in two ways:

   2. Send your documents by post.
