We translate official documents from English (English) into Dutch, and the other way round. English is an official or widely used language in the United Kingdom, Ireland, the United States, Canada, Australia and India. Documents from these countries, such as certificates, diplomas and judgments, regularly need to be submitted to the IND, Dutch municipalities, DUO, employers and courts.
We also translate Dutch documents into English for use abroad, for example for a marriage, studies, a job or setting up a company.
Documents we often translate
- Birth and marriage certificates
- Divorce judgments
- Diplomas and transcripts
- Driving licences
- Criminal record extracts
- Contracts and articles of association
- Medical documents
Apostille or legalisation
A foreign document usually needs an apostille or legalisation before a Dutch authority will accept it, and a Dutch document often needs one abroad. Whether an apostille is enough depends on the country. We check this for you and arrange the right route together with the translation.
English interpreters
Besides translations, we provide English–Dutch interpreters for notaries, registry offices, courts, medical appointments and business meetings, on site or by video.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a certified English–Dutch translation cost?
It depends on the type of document, its length and the delivery time. For a standard certificate in English, you'll receive a fixed price as soon as you send us a scan.

Yes, if it is a certified (sworn) translation. Municipalities usually require a translation into Dutch. The IND accepts certified translations into Dutch, English, French or German.
Do you also provide English interpreters?
Yes. We provide English interpreters on site throughout the Netherlands and remotely by phone or video.
