For residents and businesses in Amsterdam, we handle the complete process around official documents: from obtaining a certificate to the certified translation and the apostille or legalisation, so you don't have to visit several offices yourself.
Certified translation in Amsterdam
Many residents of Amsterdam need a certified translation for the civil affairs department (Burgerzaken) of the municipality of Amsterdam, for example to register a foreign birth or marriage certificate. The IND, DUO and employers also often ask for a certified translation. You send a scan and receive the translation digitally and, if required, by post.
Apostille for documents from Amsterdam
Amsterdam falls under the court district of Rechtbank Amsterdam. Dutch documents such as certificates, register extracts and sworn translations receive their apostille from the district court. We arrange the apostille for you, including together with a translation. For countries outside the Apostille Convention, we handle the embassy and consular legalisation.
Document retrieval
Registered with the municipality of Amsterdam? That is where your BRP extract comes from. With your authorisation, we can obtain this and other documents for you, including from abroad.
