Which Maastricht University 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 Maastricht University documents can require extra review
Maastricht University has a strongly international profile and many alumni continue their careers or studies abroad. Foreign recipients may use different terminology for diplomas, transcripts, supplements and degree verification.
How the Maastricht University document route works
The exact request from the foreign recipient is the best starting point.
Choose the correct intake
Use the Document Route Check if you already have the document, or the diploma collection route if it is still held in the Netherlands.
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.
Frequently asked questions
Can a Maastricht University diploma be used abroad?
Usually yes, but the receiving party may require apostille, DUO legalisation, certified translation, degree verification or supporting documents.
Can a UM 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 an employer wants direct degree verification?
Share the employer’s wording. Direct verification, a certified copy, diploma legalisation or another route may be requested.
What if I lost my Maastricht University 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 Maastricht University?
No. Apostille Assist is an independent document coordination service and is not affiliated with Maastricht University.
