A transcript is not always a standalone document
The issuing format, signatures and relationship to the diploma can determine whether the document is ready.
Institution-issued record
Use the official transcript or grade list issued on the education institution’s paper, not an informal portal printout.
Complete document set
DUO may need to assess how the transcript relates to the diploma or other education documents submitted with it.
Destination instructions
Credential evaluators and universities may request sealed records, translations or direct delivery in addition to an apostille.
When transcript coordination helps
Credential evaluation
A foreign evaluator requests an authenticated transcript with specific presentation or delivery rules.
Further education
A university asks for grades, diploma evidence and certified translation as one application set.
Missing or unclear format
You are unsure whether the transcript you received is the official version suitable for legalisation.

Frequently asked questions
Does a Dutch transcript need DUO legalisation?
Dutch education documents generally require DUO legalisation before a court apostille. The exact document must meet DUO’s conditions.
Is a student portal printout sufficient?
Do not assume so. The route normally requires an official education document with the appropriate institution details and signature.
Should I submit my diploma with the transcript?
Sometimes the documents are assessed as a related set. Share both documents and the foreign instruction before starting.
Can a certified translation be attached before apostille?
The correct order depends on what the receiving authority wants authenticated. Check the route before commissioning translation.
Can the completed set be delivered abroad?
Yes. International delivery can be included in an agreed coordination route.
