Frequently asked questions
Can a Dutch tax residency certificate be used abroad?
Yes. Depending on the destination country, it may require an apostille, embassy legalisation, or certified translation before it is accepted.
Does it require an apostille?
In most cases involving Hague Convention countries, yes. Non-Hague countries generally require a full embassy legalisation chain.
Is a certified translation necessary?
If the receiving party does not accept Dutch or English, a sworn translation is usually required after or before legalisation, depending on local rules.
Is a digital copy or scan acceptable?
While digital copies work for preliminary reviews, most official proceedings demand a physical original bearing an original stamp or apostille.
What if the instructions are unclear?
Send the instructions via the Document Route Check. We will evaluate the text to ensure the correct path is chosen.
Can multiple documents be processed together?
Yes, related tax, corporate, or civil documents can be combined into a single legalisation process.
