   Notes: Probed 2026-05-12: same justsearch.just.fgov.be host returns HTTP 200 for the Dutch lang variant. Disjunction (FR vs NL administration language) split into two sources per spec §6.12.5 (predicates AND-only, no OR — disjunction handled by source split).

3. Partner Portal · priority 60

   Regions: federal

   Kind: public-search-portal

   Primary actor: agent

   Agent does: Resolve the user's source-language plus target-language pair (e.g., Arabic to French) and judicial-district preference, query the SPF Justice sworn-translator register, and surface 2-3 candidate translators with their contact channels. The register is the binding source of who is officially recognised; non-registered translators are not accepted.

   You do: Provide the source language of the document and a preferred target language (one of fr / nl / de).

   To resume: Agent returns translator candidates; user contacts the translator directly to commission the sworn translation. Resume parent skill once translation is in hand.

   Notes: Probed 2026-05-12: candidate URLs (justsearch.just.fgov.be, nrgct.just.fgov.be) returned 404 / connection-refused. The operator authority is confirmed: authorities.json identifies SPF Justice as operating the Registre national des traducteurs et interprètes jurés (id: spf-justice, description references it explicitly). The lookup channel exists per the federal procedural framework (Loi du 10 avril 2014 modifiée 2017 instituant un registre national); the current public URL needs operator...

4. Federal authenticated portal · priority 40

   Regions: federal

   Kind: deeplink-info-page

   Primary actor: user

   Handoff: full-takeover

   Agent does: Provide the FPS Foreign Affairs translation-requirements page which describes which documents require sworn translation, the acceptable target languages per commune-region, and where to find translators. Explain the difference between sworn translation (juré/beëdigd) and certified translation (only sworn is accepted by Belgian civil-status counters).

   You do: Read the page, decide on the target language (fr / nl / de depending on commune region), and proceed to the SPF Justice register or contact the translator directly.

   To resume: User confirms when sworn translation is commissioned; agent resumes parent skill at the translation-completed checkpoint.

   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: Probed 2026-05-12: HTTP 200 at diplomatie.belgium.be/en/services/legalisation_of_documents; the page bundles legalisation and translation context. Secondary channel to the primary justice.belgium.be register lookup; useful when the user reaches Be Civic via the legalisation context rather than the translator-search context.

6. Offline commune visitfallback only · priority 10

   Regions: brussels, flemish, walloon

   Kind: commune-visit

   Primary actor: user

   Handoff: physical-presence

   Agent does: If the online NRBTV register cannot be reached, tell the customer to ask their commune service desk or the local tribunal de première instance / rechtbank van eerste aanleg clerk for a sworn-translator referral.

   You do: Visit the commune or tribunal, ask for a sworn translator for the language pair, and arrange the translation directly.

   To resume: Customer reports who was engaged.

   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 per graceful-degradation requirement. Note: commune referrals for sworn translators are informal; the canonical authoritative register is the NRBTV. The fee field is intentionally null — sworn translation pricing is not regulated centrally and varies widely. OVERLAP: id also produced by apostille walk.

7. Offline commune visitfallback only · priority 10

   Regions: federal

   Kind: commune-visit

   Primary actor: user

   Handoff: physical-presence

   Agent does: Provide the user's commune-of-residence État Civil counter address (resolved from user.commune_nis5 via data/communes.json), a short script for the request ('I have a foreign document with apostille; I need to commission a sworn translation. Can you give me the names of sworn translators you regularly accept for this language pair?'), and note that the commune is not obliged to maintain a list — many will direct the user to the SPF Justice register instead.

   You do: Visit the commune service desk during opening hours and ask. Bring the document so the officer sees the source language and document type.

   To resume: User reports back with the translator contact information or the SPF Justice search URL the officer provided. Resume at the translation-commissioning step.

   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 per graceful-degradation rule. Communes vary widely: some keep informal short-lists, others always defer to the SPF Justice register. Commune address resolved from data/communes.json at agent traversal time using user.commune_nis5.
