The Affidavit of Service is a fundamental document in Belgian legal proceedings, essential for proving proper delivery of legal documents to relevant parties. This sworn statement, regulated by the Belgian Judicial Code and related procedural laws, serves as official evidence that documents were properly served, detailing the manner, time, and circumstances of service. It's particularly crucial in civil and commercial proceedings, where proper service is a prerequisite for legal actions to proceed. The document must be prepared with utmost accuracy and typically includes specific details about the server, recipient, documents served, and method of service. When executed by a Huissier de Justice/Gerechtsdeurwaarder, it carries special evidentiary weight under Belgian law. The affidavit becomes especially important in international business contexts, where it may need to comply with both Belgian and international service requirements.
