Frequently asked questions
Is an apostille always enough for Saudi Arabia?
Not necessarily. The route depends on the current requirement, the receiving organisation and the purpose of use. The written instruction should be checked before starting.
Does my diploma need DUO legalisation?
It may. DUO legalisation is relevant to certain Dutch education documents before a further Dutch legalisation step can be completed.
Can this be arranged while I am in Saudi Arabia?
Often much of the Dutch-side handling can be coordinated remotely, depending on the document, its location and the required authorities.
Can my employer also request a transcript?
Yes. Employers or professional bodies may request an official transcript, diploma supplement or institution statement alongside the diploma.
Does legalisation guarantee professional recognition?
No. Legalisation concerns the document. Recognition, licensing and permission to practise are separate decisions made by the relevant organisation.
Has your Saudi employer requested a legalised Dutch diploma?
Share the employer or visa instruction. I will review the wording and explain which Dutch-side steps are likely relevant.
