Who issues it, who apostilles it

Issued by

Gemeente (burgerlijke stand)

Apostille by

Rechtbank (district court) – any of the 11 courts

Dutch international extracts are multilingual; inside the EU no apostille.

Where a Netherlands marriage certificate with apostille is accepted

Not accepted in Bangladesh and Pakistan (Article 12 objection) – documents for these countries are legalised or verified instead.

What we need from you

  • Recent original marriage certificate or certified extract (we can order it)
  • Country of issue, destination country and purpose
  • Optional: sworn translation language

Outside the EU a sworn translation into the official language of the destination is usually required; CIEC states accept the multilingual Formule B without translation.

Netherlands marriage certificate apostille: questions

Rechtbank (district court) – any of the 11 courts. Issued by: Gemeente (burgerlijke stand) – Dutch international extracts are multilingual; inside the EU no apostille.

Yes. The apostille must be issued in Netherlands, but you do not have to be there: we organise a suitable original where possible, the submission to the competent authority and delivery of the apostilled marriage certificate anywhere. The notary reviews your application first.

An Article 12 objection is in force between Netherlands and Bangladesh and Pakistan; documents for these countries are legalised or verified instead. Non-Convention countries such as the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait always need legalisation.

The HCCH record lists: € 22 per apostille. Official fees are passed through 1:1 and shown separately in your quote.

The country where the marriage was registered. A Danish certificate is apostilled by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a Nevada certificate by the Nevada Secretary of State. Notaryzer organises the apostille there and the sworn translation for the country where you now live.

No. The apostille authority needs a document with an original signature of the registrar: a newly issued certificate or a certified extract from the marriage register. We order it from the registry for you.

No one has to appear anywhere. The apostille is applied to the document, not to a person. You upload a scan for our check; we order the certificate and handle the authority.
