route check.
Answer a few questions and receive a clear route recommendation with the most practical next steps for your situation.
Which document is involved?
Choose the option that best matches your situation. This helps determine whether straightforward Apostille Submission or broader Document Coordination is likely to be the best fit.
Enter the exact document name if known. If you are unsure, briefly describe the document.
In which country will the document be used?
Enter the country where the document will be used. If you are unsure, write “not sure”.
Is the document already available?
This means the document already exists and can be sent, submitted, or handled.
If you know the municipality or organisation, enter it here. You can also leave this blank.
Are you requesting a document from a municipality, university, notary, or another authority? Consider contacting Apostille Assist first. In some situations, having the document sent directly to Apostille Assist can save time and help avoid unnecessary delays.
Do you already know which procedure is required?
This may involve an apostille, legalisation, translation, a notarial step, or another requirement before the document can be used abroad.
Do you already know whether an apostille is required?
This helps distinguish straightforward apostille situations from cases that require additional checks first.
Are additional steps required besides an apostille?
This helps distinguish straightforward Apostille Submission from situations that may require broader Document Coordination.
Has a sworn or certified translation been requested?
This helps determine whether translation should be coordinated as part of the wider document route.
How many documents are involved?
Straightforward Apostille Submission is usually best suited to one clear document. Multiple documents may require additional coordination or a separate quote.
When do you need the document?
This helps determine whether the expected timing may require additional coordination.
What is your name?
Enter your full name so Apostille Assist can respond personally to your request.
How can Apostille Assist contact you?
Enter your email address to receive a submission confirmation. You can also add your WhatsApp number for direct contact.
Is there anything important you would like to add?
Add a short explanation if anything is unusual, urgent, or unclear. You may also leave this field blank.
Your request has a dedicated diploma route check
Diplomas and education documents can involve collection from an institution, authorisation, DUO legalisation, an apostille, translation or international delivery. Continue with the dedicated Diploma Route Check so the correct questions can be asked.
Your document route is being prepared
Apostille Assist is reviewing your answers and matching your situation to the most suitable next step.
Straightforward Apostille Submission may be suitable
Your answers suggest that your situation may be suitable for straightforward Apostille Submission. This route is intended for clear Dutch documents where an apostille is likely to be the next step.
Suitable for many standard apostille situations
A clear Dutch document can be reviewed for straightforward apostille submission.
Clear costs before handling begins
You receive clarity about the service and applicable external costs in advance.
Status updates during the process
I keep you informed at the important stages of the assignment.
Summary of your document route
Personal assistance recommended
Your answers suggest that personal assistance may be helpful because one or more steps still need to be clarified, prepared, legalised, translated, or coordinated before straightforward apostille submission can proceed. A personal quotation is prepared after reviewing your submitted document route.
Initial review of the document route
I assess your situation and the most suitable route forward.
Planning, coordination, and communication
I handle the planning, coordination, and agreed communication.
Status updates throughout the coordination process
I keep you informed at the important stages of the assignment.
Summary of your document route
Translation coordination
Your answers suggest that a sworn or certified translation may be part of your document route. I can coordinate the translation step as part of the wider process.
Sworn or certified translation coordination
I coordinate the translation step with the other agreed document requirements.
Suitable for different Dutch documents
This may include certificates, diplomas, VOG documents, BRP extracts, and business documents.
Translation placed in the right order
I assess whether translation should take place before or after the apostille or other agreed steps.
