Why Apostille Documents for Belgium
If you need to use a UK document in Belgium for commune registration, marriage, residency, divorce recognition or family matters, it will need an Apostille certificate. UK ACRO police certificates, birth certificates, conditional orders of divorce, marriage certificates and academic documents are the most commonly apostilled UK documents for Belgian use.
Belgium is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, with the Convention having entered into force in 1976. Once your UK document has been apostilled by the FCDO, no further attestation at the Belgian Embassy is needed for the document to be accepted by Belgian authorities.
