Rotterdam birth certificate from abroad.
If you were born in Rotterdam but now live abroad, you do not need to travel back simply to start the document route. DigiD lets you make the municipal request online while Apostille Assist handles the agreed physical steps in the Netherlands.
Born in Rotterdam
Rotterdam holds the civil-status record when the birth took place and was registered there. The record does not move when you later live somewhere else.
Living outside the Netherlands
You make the official DigiD request yourself. The original can then travel to Apostille Assist while you remain abroad.
Hi, I’m Aaron. I handle your document personally.
When you contact Apostille Assist, you deal directly with me. I review your document route, coordinate the agreed steps in the Netherlands and keep you informed throughout the process. No call centre and no handovers between different case managers.
Rotterdam birth certificate + DigiD questions.
Can I order a Rotterdam birth certificate online with DigiD?
Yes. If you are eligible to request the record, you can use the Rotterdam online application to request your birth certificate with DigiD.
Can Rotterdam send my birth certificate directly to Apostille Assist?
You can select another delivery address during the online request. Contact Apostille Assist first for the exact address details to enter.
Why send the certificate directly to Apostille Assist?
It removes an unnecessary forwarding step. The original can travel from Rotterdam directly into the Dutch apostille route instead of first being delivered to you.
Can I request a Rotterdam birth certificate while living abroad?
Yes. If you can use the DigiD online route, you can start the request while living outside the Netherlands.
Do I need to live in Rotterdam now?
No. What matters for a birth certificate is where the birth was registered. Rotterdam keeps the record even if you now live elsewhere.
Does the Municipality of Rotterdam put an apostille on the birth certificate?
No. Rotterdam issues the birth certificate, but the apostille is a separate Dutch step. That is where Apostille Assist comes in. We arrange the apostille once the suitable original arrives.
Do I give Apostille Assist access to my DigiD?
No. Never share your DigiD login details. You complete the municipal application yourself.
Can you send the apostilled Rotterdam birth certificate abroad?
Yes. Once the agreed Dutch steps are complete, international delivery can be arranged.
