Dutch death certificate
for use abroad.
Need a Dutch death certificate for probate, a pension, bank, citizenship or another procedure abroad? I can coordinate the Dutch-side route, including the certificate request, apostille, translation and international delivery where required.
What do you need?
Choose the situation that best matches your file. If you are unsure, send the foreign request and I can review the Dutch-side route first.
I still need the death certificate
I can help coordinate the request for the correct Dutch death certificate and the agreed steps needed for use abroad.
Start your requestI already have the death certificate
Send a clear scan so I can check whether the document is suitable for the next Dutch authentication step.
I am not sure what the foreign authority needs
Share the request from the foreign authority, notary, bank or other recipient. I can review what needs to happen on the Dutch side before work starts.
Check my routeComplete Dutch-side handling
The exact route depends on the destination and receiving authority. Apostille Assist can coordinate the agreed steps from the Netherlands without turning the process into multiple separate handovers.
Why use Apostille Assist?
For people who want the Dutch side handled without having to coordinate each step separately.
Handled remotely
You can start the process from abroad. Where the route allows it, the Dutch-side steps can be coordinated without you travelling to the Netherlands.
One point of contact
You deal directly with Apostille Assist for the agreed route, with personal updates by email or WhatsApp.
Based on the foreign request
The route is reviewed against the destination and receiving authority instead of assuming every death certificate needs the same treatment.
Hi, I’m Aaron. I handle your request personally.
When you contact Apostille Assist, you deal directly with me. I review what is needed for your request, coordinate the agreed steps in the Netherlands and keep you informed throughout the process. No call centre and no handovers between different case managers.
Frequently asked questions
Can you help if I do not have the death certificate yet?
Yes. Send the details of the death and the foreign request so the appropriate Dutch-side route can be reviewed.
Does a Dutch death certificate always need an apostille?
No. The destination, purpose and receiving authority determine whether an apostille or another route is required.
Can this be handled while I am abroad?
Often yes. This depends on the municipal request, your authority to obtain the record and any original-document requirements.
Can you arrange translation and delivery as well?
Yes. Where required, translation and international delivery can be included in the agreed document route.
Need a Dutch death certificate for use abroad?
