    Primary actor: agent

    Agent does: Open the EU e-Justice catalog at e-justice.europa.eu/551, select the EU member state that issued the underlying public document, and read back the per-country procedure for requesting the multilingual standard form annex (which authority, what wait time, whether the form is issued together with the document or as a separate attachment, any fee).

    You do: Confirm to the agent which EU member state issued the document and which document type it is (birth certificate, marriage certificate, criminal-record extract, residence, etc.) so the agent can pick the right annex (I through XI).

    To resume: Agent quotes the per-country instructions; if the issuing authority accepts an online request, the agent provides that channel; otherwise the customer follows up directly with the foreign issuing authority. The Belgian-side acceptance check is handled by the sibling path belgian-acceptance-eu-1191-form.

    Handoff: physical-presence

    Agent does: Provide a plain-language script: 'Contact the civil-registry office (or criminal-record office) of the country that issued the document. Ask them to issue the document with the multilingual standard form attached, citing Regulation (EU) 2016/1191. Be ready to give the document type (birth, marriage, criminal record, etc.) and the date of the act.' Identify the right annex (I–XI) for the document type.

    You do: Send the request (email or letter) to the issuing authority in the source EU member state; wait for the document to be re-issued or for the form attachment to be sent.

    To resume: Customer tells the agent when the document with the attached form has arrived; agent confirms the form covers the document type and moves on to belgian-acceptance-eu-1191-form for the Belgian-side check.

    The steps after authentication / handoff are described from documentation, not yet confirmed by a real Be Civic user. If reality differs, please tell us so we can fix the entry.

    Notes: Offline fallback for when the EU e-Justice portal is unreachable or the per-country instructions are stale. The handoff is to a foreign authority, not a Belgian commune — physical-presence handoff value applies under the spec since the customer takes over entirely with a foreign administrative office (postal/email channel). No Belgian commune analogue is appropriate here; the form is issued in the source MS, never in Belgium for documents inbound to Belgium.
