The data is available through the Ministry of Justice portal, https://www.juridat.be/. Laws are searchable by department and domain, where content and amendments are available, in addition to supplementary information, such as signatures. The original review was amended: laws are not copyrightable in Belgium and are therefore considered to be in the public domain.
