Using an Amsterdam University College diploma abroad.
Studied at Amsterdam University College and now need your diploma, transcript, diploma supplement, certified copy, graduation statement or degree verification abroad? Apostille Assist helps review the Dutch-side route for employment, postgraduate study, immigration, professional recognition, licensing or another international procedure.
Choose the route that matches your AUC document situation
The correct intake depends on whether your diploma or supporting document is already available or still needs to be requested, released or collected from Amsterdam University College, UvA or VU.
I already have the document
Choose this route when the diploma, transcript, diploma supplement, graduation statement, certified copy or verification document is already available and you need clarity about DUO legalisation, apostille, translation, verification or submission.
The document still needs request or collection
Choose this route when the original diploma or another AUC education document is still held in the Netherlands and must first be requested, released or collected before further processing and international delivery.
Get your AUC diploma ready for use abroad
Need your AUC diploma or supporting documents accepted by an employer, university or authority abroad? Get help with DUO legalisation, apostille, verification, translation and secure international delivery.
Apostille Submission
Best if the correct AUC or university document is already available and the Dutch-side apostille route is clear.
- For straightforward Dutch apostille handling
- Suitable when the document and route are already clear
- WhatsApp updates during the process
Document Coordination
Best if the request is unclear, the original diploma is unavailable, or the process involves AUC, UvA, VU, DUO, certified copies, verification, translation or international courier delivery.
- For unclear or multi-step AUC document requests
- Coordination of the agreed Dutch-side route
- Practical communication and progress updates
Which AUC documents may be requested?
Foreign recipients may ask for more than the diploma itself. The required document depends on the purpose and the exact wording used by the employer, university, authority or licensing body.
Why AUC, UvA and VU names can appear
AUC is connected to the University of Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. International recipients may therefore see different institutional names across the diploma, transcript, supplement or verification process.
How the AUC document route works
The exact request from the foreign recipient is the best starting point.
Choose the correct intake
Use the Document Route Check when you already have the document, or the collection route when it is still held by the institution.
Identify the document
Determine whether the recipient needs the diploma, transcript, supplement, statement, certified copy or verification.
Review formalities
Check whether DUO legalisation, apostille, certified translation, verification or courier handling is required.
Coordinate next steps
Proceed with the agreed Dutch-side route while communication stays clear.
Common AUC alumni situations
This page is designed for international AUC alumni who need Dutch education documents after leaving the Netherlands.
What if the original diploma is unavailable?
If the original AUC diploma is lost, inaccessible or still in the Netherlands, do not assume that a scan or replacement statement will automatically be accepted abroad.

Frequently asked questions
Can an Amsterdam University College diploma be used abroad?
Usually yes, but the receiving party may require apostille, DUO legalisation, certified translation, degree verification or supporting documents.
Do AUC documents show UvA or VU?
Institutional names may appear differently across documents and verification routes, so the exact document and issuing party should be checked.
Can an AUC transcript be apostilled?
Possibly, depending on how it is issued and signed. The Dutch-side route should be checked after the document is available.
What if I lost my AUC diploma?
First check which official replacement document, statement, transcript or verification route is available and what the foreign recipient accepts.
Can this be coordinated while I live abroad?
Often yes. The route depends on identity checks, authorisation, original-paper handling, issuing-body requirements and courier arrangements.
Is Apostille Assist affiliated with AUC?
No. Apostille Assist is an independent document coordination service and is not affiliated with Amsterdam University College, UvA or VU Amsterdam.
