Paperwork & translation
Arabic Translation and Paperwork Support in Brussels
In Brussels, most letters, forms and phone lines are in French or Dutch. A letter from the commune, a landlord, an energy company or a bank can be stressful when you are not sure what it says or what to do next. Tabdor gives you Arabic-language support with these everyday tasks, by WhatsApp.
Asking is free · Price confirmed before work starts
Tabdor explains, calls, prepares and follows up. It does not give legal advice and does not issue certified translations itself. When an office asks for a sworn (certified) translation, or your situation needs a lawyer or another regulated professional, Tabdor tells you and coordinates with a qualified third party.
How Tabdor helps
Calls on your behalf
Calling the commune, landlords, schools, energy or phone companies, banks and other services in French, Dutch or English, then reporting back to you in Arabic.
Understanding letters and forms
Explaining in simple Arabic what a document says, what it asks you to do and by which date.
Appointment coordination
Booking appointments with local offices and services, and telling you what to bring.
Document preparation
Helping you fill in forms with your information and organising the documents an office asks for.
Certified translation coordination
Arranging sworn translations through qualified translators when an official document requires it.
What to send us
The more of this you include in your first message, the faster you get a clear answer and a price.
- A clear photo of the letter or form (you can hide personal numbers)
- Who sent it and any deadline written on it
- What you need: explanation, a call, an appointment, a form or a translation
- For translations: the language pair and whether it must be sworn
- Your commune in Brussels, if it is about local administration
Good to know
Belgian offices often ask for documents from abroad to be translated by a sworn translator, and sometimes legalised or apostilled. Requirements differ by office and by document, so check with the office first; Tabdor can make that call for you.
Keep copies of every document and note reference numbers and deadlines. Sworn translation and official fees are outside costs, shown separately from Tabdor's fee. Tabdor cannot guarantee any decision by an office or company.
