Living or working in Leiden and need an official translation for the municipality, the IND or an authority abroad? ABC Translation provides certified translations, apostilles and legalisation for individuals and businesses in Leiden and across the province of South Holland.
Certified translation in Leiden
Many residents of Leiden need a certified translation for the civil affairs department (Burgerzaken) of the municipality of Leiden, 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 Leiden
Leiden falls under the court district of Rechtbank Den Haag. 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 Leiden? That is where your BRP extract comes from. With your authorisation, we can obtain this and other documents for you, including from abroad.
