When this is relevant abroad

Dutch guardianship documents may be required for foreign family, court, school, immigration or authority procedures.

✓Foreign notary, court, school, immigration, bank, authority, estate or family procedures

✓Requests where apostille, legalisation, certified translation, certified copies or original-paper handling may be required

✓Situations where the recipient needs more than an informal scan or old copy

Start with the foreign requirement

Start with the exact foreign instruction, because legal terms do not always match Dutch document names.

✓The wording determines which official copy or supporting document is needed

✓Check apostille, translation, certification and delivery requirements first

✓Related documents may need to be submitted together
