Articles of Incorporation Association documents are essential for establishing non-profit associations in Belgium. This fundamental document is required under the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations when founding an ASBL/VZW (non-profit association). It serves as the constitutional charter of the organization, detailing its purpose, governance structure, membership rules, and operational procedures. The document must contain specific mandatory information required by Belgian law and needs to be filed in French, Dutch, or German, depending on the association's location. It forms the basis for the association's legal existence and is referenced throughout the organization's lifetime for governance matters. The Articles must be signed by the founding members and filed with appropriate authorities, including the Enterprise Court, to obtain legal personality.
