Certificate Attestation

Netherlands Document Attestation

Netherlands Document Attestation

Whether you are looking to move to UAE or are seeking admission at an international university, you will be required to show documents, like a birth certificate or marriage certificate, with proper attestation by a relevant authority. Attestation indicates that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has verified your documents by the issuing country.

A Bit about International Legalization Agreements

Authentication requirements vary from country to country. Some countries have made agreements that might allow them to proceed without any authentication—the Apostille Convention in October 1961 simplified the legalization of documents where only a single apostille stamp would suffice.

Planning Ahead

It would help if you planned when it comes to documentation authentication. For instance, if the document is written in a language other than English, French, or German, it will have to be translated by a sworn translator.

Process Involves

Here’s how they go about attesting your Netherlands documents:

  • You send us your documents by courier, or we can arrange the document collection from your office or residence in Dubai
  • We receive them and get them translated into English by a sworn translator in the Netherlands
  • Next, we get it notarized by a notary
  • After your documents have been translated and notarized, we will send them to the local District Court for legalization
  • Then, our team will get your documents legalized from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
  • Period Finally, the attested documents are sent to the UAE Embassy in Hague, where the process is completed.


This is a standard procedure that our team generally employs. However, authorities can add specific steps depending on the nature of the document. For instance, educational documents will need to be attested by the Ministry of Education.

Your paper may occasionally also need to be translated into Arabic. Again, it is best to check as your company may handle this for you.
