Inside Belgium: 13 subdivisions
Where a subdivision shows a cited law, the citation comes from the named source and the official text still needs confirming. Where it shows nothing, the national law may apply and the local rules are unconfirmed.
What to confirm at your local office, whichever subdivision you are in
- Verify statutory deadline and extension rule.
- Verify filing fee, copying fee, waiver, and electronic access rule.
- Verify internal review, independent review, judicial review, and silence-as-refusal rule.
- Verify relevant information commission, ombudsman, court, tribunal, or internal appeal body.
- Verify official web portal or responsible officer contact.
Records that should already be published: Budget; procurement; contract awards; payment status; public land; service standards; audit reports; subsidies; court/police/hospital/school records.

This atlas and the Capture Index never mix
The atlas is the open reference layer: every jurisdiction, graded, with unverified entries shown as tasks. The Capture Index is a separate scored product: verified sources only, with right of reply before publication.
