Using a Dutch MBO qualification for work overseas
A vocational diploma may be requested for technical, healthcare, hospitality, administrative or other skilled employment.
Check the document and education level requested
The employer may ask for the original diploma, a list of grades, a certificate or proof of the vocational programme. The precise document should be confirmed first.
Arrange the route without unnecessary travel

Frequently asked questions
Can a Dutch MBO diploma be legalised?
Many recognised Dutch education documents can follow a legalisation route, but eligibility depends on the specific diploma and issuing institution.
Does my MBO diploma need DUO?
It may. DUO assesses whether the education document meets the conditions for its legalisation step.
Can my grades list be included?
Yes, if requested, but a grades list should be checked separately because it may have its own document requirements.
Can Apostille Assist obtain a replacement diploma?
The issuing school or relevant education body determines whether a replacement or alternative document is available. Apostille Assist can help coordinate an agreed route.
Can this be arranged while I live abroad?
Often yes, as long as the required document can be made available for Dutch-side handling.
