More than ordinary shipping

International delivery should be planned around the document route, not added as an afterthought.

✓Confirm that all Dutch-side formalities are complete before dispatch
✓Check whether delivery is to you or directly to the receiving organisation
✓Match the delivery method to the document, destination and deadline

Documents commonly sent abroad

Tracked delivery can be considered for many original or officially prepared Dutch documents.

✓Birth and marriage certificates, BRP extracts and VOG documents
✓Diplomas, transcripts and other education records
✓Notarial, court, business and estate documents

From the Netherlands to your destination

The document route is completed before the package is released for international delivery.

1

Confirm the document

Share the document type, current location and whether the original is available.

2

Complete Dutch steps

Arrange the agreed request, copy, apostille, legalisation or translation route.

3

Confirm delivery details

Check the full address, contact number, recipient and available courier option.

4

Dispatch and track

Release the completed document and share the tracking information.

Shipping speed and document processing time are different

Express delivery can shorten the transport stage, but it does not shorten the time needed to request, legalise, translate or prepare the document.

What is checked before dispatch

A few practical checks reduce avoidable delays and failed delivery attempts.

Recipient details

Full name, address, postcode, telephone number and any organisation or department details.

Delivery method

Available tracked or express options, estimated transit time and the quoted courier charge.

Document readiness

Whether the final apostille, legalisation, copy or translation step is complete before shipping.

Important delivery considerations

Direct delivery may be required

Some universities, authorities, employers or professional bodies want the document sent directly by the issuing organisation or an agreed intermediary.

✓Confirm the accepted sender before dispatch
✓Include a reference number or department where required
✓Check whether sealed-envelope rules apply

Customs and local delivery vary

Transit times and local handling can change by country. Customs or the local carrier may request extra recipient information.

✓Use accurate recipient and contact information
✓Follow tracking updates after dispatch
✓Respond promptly if the carrier requests additional details

Frequently asked questions

Can my Dutch document be shipped directly abroad?

Often yes, once the document is ready and the recipient details have been confirmed. The available delivery option depends on the destination and document route.

Is international shipping included in the service fee?

No. Courier charges are confirmed separately because they depend on the destination, delivery speed, package and available carrier service.

Can the document be sent directly to an authority or university?

That may be possible. First confirm whether the organisation accepts delivery from Apostille Assist or requires direct dispatch by the issuing institution.

Can I choose express delivery?

Available tracked and express options can be reviewed before dispatch. An express service only affects transit time, not the document preparation time.

Will I receive a tracking number?

When tracked international delivery is part of the agreed route, the tracking details are shared after the package has been dispatched.

Can delivery by a specific date be guaranteed?

No. Estimated transit times can be provided, but customs, local carriers, address issues and other events outside Apostille Assist's control may affect delivery.

Need your Dutch documents delivered abroad?

Share the document type, current status, destination country and deadline so the Dutch-side route and delivery options can be reviewed.
