Where another delivery address is accepted, the original can come directly to us for the apostille.

After the agreed Dutch steps are complete, the certificate can be shipped internationally.
Hi, I’m Aaron. I handle your document personally.
Your birth certificate comes directly to me for the agreed Dutch steps, and I keep you informed until it is ready for return. No call centre and no handovers between different case managers.
Questions about the DigiD route.
Can I request my Dutch birth certificate with DigiD?
Many Dutch municipalities offer an online civil-status document request using DigiD. The available certificate types and delivery options depend on the municipality.
Can the municipality send it directly to Apostille Assist?
Some municipal online request routes allow another delivery address or provide a way to add delivery instructions. Check the available options during your application.
Does the municipality put an apostille on my birth certificate?
No. The municipality issues the birth certificate, but does not provide the apostille. That is where Apostille Assist comes in: have the suitable original sent to us and we arrange the Dutch apostille for you.
Do I give Apostille Assist my DigiD details?
No. You log in and complete the municipal request yourself. Never share your DigiD login details.
Does every Dutch birth certificate need an apostille?
No. The requirement depends on the destination country and receiving authority. Some international routes do not require an apostille.
Can the apostilled certificate be shipped abroad?
Yes. Once the agreed Dutch steps are complete, trackable international delivery can be arranged.
