Build the diploma route in the correct order
A Dutch diploma normally does not go straight from the education institution to the court.
Original and complete
DUO requires the original, complete education document on the institution’s original paper.
Recognised signature
The diploma must be signed by a representative of the recognised Dutch education institution.
DUO before court
DUO legalises the education document first. The court can then add the apostille for an apostille country.
When an apostilled diploma is requested
Employment abroad
An employer requests an apostilled Dutch diploma before onboarding or professional recognition.
Study application
A university or credential evaluator asks for the diploma, apostille and sometimes a certified translation.
You live abroad
The Dutch-side steps can be handled through the document service when you cannot return for DUO and court visits.
Common Dutch university diploma guides
University documents can differ by institution, even when the later DUO and apostille steps look similar. Use the relevant guide for institution-specific diploma, transcript and verification questions.
Frequently asked questions
Does my Dutch diploma go directly to the Utrecht court?
Usually not. Dutch education documents generally require DUO legalisation before the court can add an apostille.
Can I use a diploma download from Mijn diploma’s?
DUO’s standard legalisation route requires an original and complete education document. A digital extract should not be assumed to replace the original for foreign use.
Can the diploma and transcript be handled together?
Yes, if both documents meet the applicable DUO requirements. Share the complete set before submission.
Is a translation always required?
No. The receiving employer, university or authority determines whether a certified translation is needed.
Can Apostille Assist coordinate the route if I live abroad?
Yes. The agreed Dutch-side DUO, apostille, translation and delivery steps can be handled through the document service using the required originals.
Why use Apostille Assist?
Keep the original diploma within one managed route while the required Dutch authentications are completed.
Education route knowledge
Your diploma route is checked before the original document is submitted.
One point of contact
DUO, apostille, translation and delivery can be handled through the document service as one agreed route.
Useful from abroad
The Dutch steps can be handled when returning to the Netherlands is impractical.
