Have DigiD? Start your birth certificate route online.
If your birth was registered in the Netherlands, DigiD may let you order your Dutch birth certificate online from the relevant municipality. I can then coordinate the agreed apostille and international delivery.
Birth certificate apostille
Once a suitable original Dutch birth certificate reaches me, I can handle the apostille submission in the Netherlands and prepare the document for return or international delivery.
The €200 service fee covers the apostille service. The municipal certificate fee, government apostille fee and international delivery are separate where applicable.
One online request. Then the Dutch document route.
DigiD does not replace the apostille. It simply lets you start the municipal part of the process yourself online.
Find the municipality where your birth was registered
A Dutch birth certificate comes from the municipality that holds the civil-status record.
Order the birth certificate with your own DigiD
You complete the official municipal application yourself. I never need access to your DigiD account.

The exact delivery method differs by municipality. Some provide another delivery address or an additional information field.
I arrange the apostille and delivery
