Using a Dutch HBO diploma for an overseas employer
Higher professional education documents may be requested during recruitment, onboarding, immigration or professional registration.
Confirm the employer’s complete document list
The request may include your HBO diploma, transcript, diploma supplement or an institution statement. Establish the document set before legalisation begins.

Frequently asked questions
Can a Dutch HBO diploma be legalised?
A Dutch HBO diploma may be eligible for legalisation when the document and issuing institution meet the applicable requirements.
Will DUO legalise my HBO diploma?
DUO determines whether the specific education document satisfies its requirements. The original document may be needed.
May my employer request the diploma supplement?
Yes. Employers, universities and professional bodies can request a transcript or diploma supplement alongside the diploma.
Can the route be coordinated while I live abroad?
Often yes. Dutch appointments and document handling can frequently be coordinated remotely.
Does legalisation prove the foreign equivalent of my HBO degree?
No. Legalisation concerns authenticity and formal document use. Equivalency or recognition is a separate assessment.
