Check whether the recipient wants a full certificate, certified copy or international multilingual extract.

Name and parent details
Confirm that the names, dates and parent information match the foreign checklist before apostille.
Where birth certificates are used

Frequently asked questions
Can any Dutch birth certificate receive an apostille?
It must be an official paper document with a signature the court can authenticate. An ordinary scan or self-print is not sufficient.
Does the birth certificate need to be recent?
The apostille itself does not create a universal recency rule. The receiving authority decides how recent the certificate must be.
Is an international extract always accepted?
No. Some authorities accept the multilingual format, while others require a full certificate and certified translation.
Can someone else submit the certificate in Rotterdam?
Yes. Dutch judiciary guidance states that another person may apply for the apostille without a power of attorney.
Can you arrange translation after apostille?
Yes, where required. The correct order should be checked against the recipient’s instructions.
