Frequently asked questions
Can I sign the power of attorney at home and obtain an apostille?
Not usually without a recognised certification step. A private signature generally needs notarial legalisation before the court can authenticate it.
Can Apostille Assist approve the legal wording?
No. The foreign lawyer, notary or authority should approve the content. Apostille Assist coordinates the Dutch document route.
Does the document need to be bilingual?
That depends on the recipient and Dutch notary. A translation or bilingual draft may be requested.
Do I need to attend a Dutch notary?
Often the notary must identify the signer, but the available procedure depends on the notary and document.
Can the apostilled original be sent directly abroad?
Yes. Direct international delivery can be included in the agreed coordination.
