Using a Dutch teaching qualification overseas
International schools and education authorities may request formal proof of your qualification during recruitment or teacher registration.
The school may request more than the diploma
A teacher application can include the diploma, transcript, proof of teaching qualification, employment letters or other institution-issued evidence.
Coordinate the Dutch route remotely
If you already live outside the Netherlands, the agreed appointments and document handling can often be coordinated without travelling back solely for legalisation.

Frequently asked questions
Can a Dutch teaching diploma be legalised?
It may be eligible for a Dutch education-document legalisation route, depending on the document and issuing institution.
Does legalisation make me licensed to teach abroad?
No. The foreign education authority or school decides recognition, registration and eligibility to teach.
Can a transcript be legalised with the diploma?
A transcript may also be requested, but it should be reviewed as its own document.
Can this be arranged while I already live abroad?
Often yes, provided the required original document and any authorisation can be made available in the Netherlands.
What if the school only says attested degree?
Request the complete written checklist or share the wording through the Document Route Check before arranging the route.
Has an international school requested your Dutch teaching diploma?
Share the school or education-authority checklist. I will review the likely Dutch-side steps before you send the original.
