Articles of Incorporation for a Belgian Nonprofit (ASBL/VZW) are required when establishing a new nonprofit organization in Belgium. This foundational document must comply with the 2019 Code of Companies and Associations and requires notarization before filing with the Enterprise Court. The document includes essential information about the organization's purpose, founding members (minimum three required), governance structure, membership rules, and financial provisions. It must be drafted in at least one of Belgium's official languages (Dutch, French, or German) depending on the organization's location. Once filed and published in the Belgian Official Gazette, the nonprofit gains legal personality and can operate as a recognized entity.
