Dutch Chamber of Commerce extract attestation for the UAE.
Need to use a Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK) extract in the United Arab Emirates? Apostille Assist helps coordinate the required Dutch document preparation, legalisation and attestation route for use in the UAE.
When KvK attestation may be required
A Dutch Chamber of Commerce extract may be requested when a UAE organisation needs authenticated evidence concerning a company registered in the Netherlands.
Start with the UAE requirement
The correct route depends on the exact Dutch company document and what the receiving party in the UAE has asked you to provide.
How the UAE attestation process works
Company documents do not all follow exactly the same route. The document type and UAE requirement should therefore be reviewed before the attestation process begins.
Review the document
Share the KvK document or the exact instruction from the UAE receiving party so the required document type can be identified.
Prepare the Dutch route
The applicable Dutch certification and legalisation steps are determined before the document continues to the UAE attestation stage.
Complete UAE attestation
Where required, the prepared document continues through the applicable UAE Embassy attestation procedure in the Netherlands.
Continue with the UAE-side step
Depending on the recipient and intended use, an additional UAE-side step such as MOFA attestation may be required.
Not sure which KvK document needs attestation?
UAE recipients may use terms such as company extract, commercial register extract, company registration document, proof of directors or proof of signing authority. Send the wording you received before ordering or preparing a document.
Common uses for an attested Dutch KvK extract
The receiving party determines what evidence is required, but Dutch company documents are often requested in UAE corporate and commercial procedures.
Banking and compliance
A UAE bank or compliance team may request authenticated evidence concerning the existence, registration or representation of a Dutch company.
Company and commercial procedures
Dutch company evidence can also form part of a UAE registration, commercial, investment or representation procedure.

Frequently asked questions
Does a Dutch KvK extract need attestation for the UAE?
It depends on the receiving party and the purpose for which the document will be used. A UAE bank, authority, free zone or other organisation may request authenticated Dutch company evidence.
Is an apostille enough for a Dutch KvK extract in the UAE?
A UAE company-document request should not automatically be treated as a standard apostille case. The required legalisation and attestation route depends on the document and the receiving party.
Does a KvK extract go directly to the UAE Embassy?
Not necessarily. The required preparation depends on the type of Dutch company document and how it must be certified before the UAE attestation stage.
Is MOFA attestation also required?
Depending on the receiving party and intended use, an additional UAE-side MOFA attestation step may be required after the Netherlands-side process.
Can Apostille Assist coordinate the process?
Apostille Assist can coordinate the agreed Dutch-side document and attestation steps and keep communication clear when several stages or authorities are involved.
What if I do not know which KvK document I need?
