Vlag van Brasschaat

Belgian municipality seal

This image depicts a coat of arms of a Flemish municipality or province. These coats of arms have been registered with the register van gemeentewapens van de De Vlaamse Heraldische Raad [1].

The coat of arms belongs to the public domain of a city of municipality. Using it for advertising purposes, for example as a brand, is strictly forbidden.

Article 184 of the Belgium criminal law states that abuse of or forging a seal can be punished with imprisonement between three months to three years. Attempting to create a seal of misuse of it, is punished with imprisonement between one month and one year.

Using the seals by private persons, private institutions or associations is only allowed if the councel of the municipality or city has officially given permission for this. See e.g. [2].

In view of Belgian legislation this image is seen as being in the public domain, as are reproductions of this seal.
