Independent document service for Dutch documents used abroad.
Need an apostille for your Dutch document?
Apostille Assist helps individuals and international clients arrange apostilles, document submission and document coordination for Dutch documents used abroad. You work directly with Aaron as your point of contact throughout the process.
Choose the service that fits your situation
Not every Dutch document follows the same route abroad. A document may already be ready for apostille submission, or it may first need to be requested, certified, translated, collected or coordinated with a Dutch authority.
Compare the three options below: choose Apostille Submission for a prepared document, Document Coordination for a multi-step case, or start with the Document Route Check when the receiving authority's instructions are unclear.
Apostille Submission
For Dutch documents that are ready to be submitted for an apostille. Aaron handles the submission and keeps the next step clear.
- For prepared Dutch documents

- Personal WhatsApp progress updates

Document Coordination

Why choose Aaron for this process?
Many people can tell you that a document needs an apostille. The harder part is often knowing which document is actually suitable, what must happen before the apostille, and how to keep the process moving when you are abroad.
You work directly with Aaron
No anonymous desk, call centre or ticket system. You communicate with the same person from the first message until the next step is clear.
Useful when you are outside the Netherlands
If you cannot visit a Dutch notary, municipality, court or authority yourself, Aaron can help you understand what can be arranged from the Netherlands.
Not just generic instructions
Your document, destination country and receiving authority matter. The goal is to identify the most practical route before time or money is spent on the wrong step.
You know what happens next
Apostille cases can involve a document issuer, notary, court, translator or shipping step. Aaron helps keep the next step clear and avoids unnecessary confusion.
Check the route before sending documents
A document may be valid in the Netherlands but still not accepted abroad. Checking the route first can prevent avoidable delays, rejected documents or extra costs.
Built for careful document cases
These are often personal, legal, family, study or business documents. The service is designed around careful handling, clear updates and practical coordination.
How the apostille process works
The exact route depends on the document type, issuing authority and destination country. In many cases, the process starts once the correct Dutch document is available.
Check the document
Aaron reviews whether the document appears suitable for apostille submission or whether another step is needed first.
Submit for apostille
When the document is ready, it can be submitted through the relevant apostille route in the Netherlands.
Keep you updated
You receive updates so you know when the document is submitted, completed or ready for the next step.
Prepare delivery
The apostilled document can be returned or prepared for international shipment depending on your situation.
Why not arrange everything yourself?
You can sometimes arrange an apostille yourself. But when the document must first be requested, certified, checked, translated, collected or sent abroad, the process can become less straightforward. Apostille Assist is for people who want a clear route and one person in the Netherlands helping with the next step.
More than just an apostille stamp
A Dutch document may be valid in the Netherlands but still need additional steps before it is accepted abroad. Depending on the document and destination country, the route may involve a certified copy, apostille, sworn translation, shipment or coordination with a Dutch authority.
Popular document routes
These are common Dutch documents that may require an apostille or additional document steps before use abroad. The guides below are destination-neutral, so you can first understand the Dutch document route before checking country-specific requirements.
