Analysis

What this data actually tells you

Administrative and Support Service Activities in Belgium includes two distinctly licensed sub-sectors. Private security companies need a permit from FOD Binnenlandse Zaken (the Federal Interior Ministry) before they can offer surveillance or security services to third parties, with a €1,000 administrative file fee due on first application for each individual permit — a genuine authorisation, not a formality, separate from ordinary company registration.

Temporary employment agencies face their own recognition requirement: in the Brussels-Capital Region specifically, initial recognition is valid for two years, with renewal requested between three and six months before expiry, after which recognition typically becomes indefinite. New recognitions are granted regularly by ministerial decision — several were published in September 2026 alone. For verification, a Belgian staffing or security counterparty’s actual authority to operate depends on checking its specific sector’s recognition or permit status directly, not assuming it from company registration.

πŸ‘€

Uitzendbureau (temp agency) recognition check

Temporary employment agencies need recognition before starting activities — in the Brussels-Capital Region, initial recognition runs for 2 years, with renewal (requested 3-6 months before expiry) typically granted for an indefinite period thereafter.

🏦

Recent recognition track record

New temp-agency recognitions are published regularly — several were granted by ministerial decision in September 2026 alone — a real, checkable, ongoing registration record worth checking against a staffing agency’s claimed status.
