Proof of Address
from Leiden?
Need an official BRP extract showing your registered address or personal details in Leiden? Apostille Assist helps identify the correct version and can coordinate the agreed request, apostille, sworn translation and international delivery.
Choose the right level of support
Choose Apostille Submission when the correct Leiden document is already available. Choose the Document Service when the document still needs to be requested or the international route contains several steps.
Apostille Submission
For an eligible Leiden municipal document when it is already clear that an apostille is required.
- Practical Dutch apostille submission
- For an available and eligible original paper document
- Progress updates via WhatsApp
Document Service
For requesting a Leiden document while abroad or handling a route with several document steps.
- Review of the receiving authority, destination country and document version
- Handling of the agreed steps in the Netherlands
- Options for apostille, translation and registered or tracked delivery
Municipal fees, court fees, translation fees, notarial fees and courier charges are external costs and are confirmed separately before work begins.
Which proof do you need?
The foreign authority determines which details must appear on the extract. Confirm whether it needs only your address or additional registered personal details.
Is Leiden the right municipality?
The correct authority depends on your current registration and on the details required by the foreign recipient.
Address registered in Leiden?
If you are currently registered in Leiden, the municipality can usually issue a BRP extract showing your address and registered personal details.
Registered somewhere else?
If you are now registered in another Dutch municipality, you normally request the extract from that municipality.
Living abroad now?
If you have emigrated, an RNI extract or another historical registration document may be required. The receiving authority determines which version is accepted.
Which version will be accepted?
A standard extract is not always sufficient. Ask the foreign authority to confirm the required details, issue date and language.
Standard Proof of Address
Suitable when only your name, registered address and current registration must be shown.
Proof with extra details
May be required when civil status, nationality, household composition, previous addresses or other personal details must also be included.
Depending on the destination country and receiving authority, an apostille, sworn translation or another legalisation route may be required.
From Leiden address to international use
Start with the foreign authority's exact request before ordering or translating the document.
Share the requirements
Send the foreign checklist, email, portal wording or rejection letter.
Confirm the correct extract
Identify the correct extract, required details and request route.
Complete the Dutch steps
Handle the agreed request, apostille or legalisation and any translation.
Deliver internationally
Arrange tracked delivery or the submission method required by the recipient.
Some public documents within the EU are exempt from apostille. Other destinations may require an apostille or a longer legalisation route. The destination, document and receiving authority determine the correct sequence.
Why use Apostille Assist?
Useful when the municipal request is only one part of a wider international document route.
One coordinated route
The Leiden request, apostille, translation and delivery can be planned in the correct order.
Support while abroad
Practical support is available when you cannot travel to Leiden or receive the document conveniently.
Recipient-led review
The route follows the foreign authority's wording instead of assuming that every municipal document needs the same treatment.
Information that helps clarify your route
A few precise details are usually enough for an initial review.
Registration and personal details
State where you are registered and which personal details must appear on the extract.
Foreign instruction
Share the recipient's exact wording, including version, issue-date, language and legalisation requirements.
Destination and deadline
Include the country, receiving authority, purpose, deadline and preferred delivery address.

Frequently asked questions
Welke akten van de burgerlijke stand kan Alkmaar afgeven?
Leiden can issue certificates for births, marriages, registered partnerships and deaths when the event was registered in Leiden. Other events normally belong to the municipality where they were registered.
Can I request a Leiden municipal document while abroad?
Some requests can be started remotely or handled through an authorised person. The available route depends on the document, your eligibility and the identification or authorisation requirements.
Does a Leiden municipal document always need an apostille?
No. The destination country, document type and receiving authority determine whether an apostille, EU exemption or another legalisation route applies.
Should I request an international extract?
Only when the receiving authority accepts it. An international extract is shortened and multilingual and may not contain the same information as the official municipal copy.
Can Apostille Assist request the document for me?
Request support depends on the document, your eligibility and the municipality's identity or authorisation requirements. The complete route is reviewed before work begins.
Can the completed document be shipped abroad?
Yes. Tracked international delivery can be part of the agreed route. The destination and external shipping costs are confirmed in advance.
Need a Leiden document for use abroad?
Share the document type, destination country and exact instruction so the correct Leiden route can be reviewed.
