Start your document route check.
Answer a few questions and receive a clear route recommendation with the most suitable next steps for your situation.
What type of document is involved?
Select the closest option. This helps determine whether the document may be suitable for Apostille Submission, Document Coordination, or Translation Coordination.
Which country will the document be used in?
Type the destination country. If you are not sure, write “not sure”.
Is the document already issued and physically available?
This means the document already exists and can be sent, submitted, or handled.
Has the document been prepared or issued by the correct authority?
For example: a Dutch municipality, notary, KvK, university, court, or other issuing authority.
Do you already know which procedure is required?
This includes whether you need an apostille, legalisation, translation, notarisation, or another step before the document can be used abroad.
Do you already know that an apostille is required?
This helps identify straightforward apostille situations where Apostille Submission may be suitable.
Are additional services required beyond the apostille?
This helps separate straightforward apostille requests from situations that may need broader document coordination.
Has a sworn or certified translation been requested?
This helps identify situations where Translation Coordination may be more suitable than a standard apostille-only route.
How many documents are involved?
Apostille Submission is usually most suitable for one straightforward document. Multiple documents or submissions may require Document Coordination or a separate quote.
Is there a deadline?
This helps determine urgency and whether same-day review, urgent coordination, or separate routing may be needed.
What is your name?
Please enter your full name so Apostille Assist can respond to your request personally.
How can Apostille Assist contact you?
Please provide at least one contact method. Without an email address or WhatsApp number, I cannot respond to your Route Check.
Anything important to add?
Add a short note if there is anything unusual, urgent, or unclear. You can also leave this blank.
Preparing your route summary
Apostille Assist is reviewing your answers and matching your document situation to the most suitable next step.
Apostille Submission
Your answers suggest that your situation may be suitable for Apostille Submission. This route is intended for straightforward Dutch document situations where an apostille appears to be the required next step.
✓ Suitable for many standard apostille situations
✓ Clear pricing before work begins
✓ Status communication throughout the process
Courier costs, return shipping, additional submissions, translations, legalisation, specialist handling, or other procedural requirements may be quoted separately where applicable.
Your Assessment Summary
Document Coordination
Your answers suggest that your situation may be suitable for Document Coordination. This route is intended for document situations where coordination planning, client communication, and handling with the appropriate Dutch authority, court, or organisation may be needed.
✓ Initial review and route assessment
✓ Coordination planning and client communication
✓ Status communication throughout the coordination process
Government fees, apostille fees, legalisation fees, courier costs, translations, third-party services, additional submissions, specialist handling, travel requirements, or other procedural requirements may be quoted separately.
Your Assessment Summary
Translation Coordination
Your answers suggest that a sworn or certified translation may be relevant. This route is intended for Dutch documents that need to be translated for use abroad, or where the language requirement needs to be handled as part of the document route.
✓ Coordination of sworn or certified translation routes
✓ Useful for Dutch civil, academic, VOG, BRP, and business documents
✓ Helps clarify whether translation should happen before or after apostille or other steps
Translation costs depend on the document type, language combination, urgency, document length, and whether additional steps such as apostille, legalisation, courier handling, or broader document coordination are needed.
