Certified Dutch apostille translation with notarisation and legalisation

Our Dutch apostille services provide a single point of contact from document intake to final legalisation. We translate Dutch documents into English (or vice versa), prepare an official translator’s certification, arrange notarisation with a UK notary public, and obtain the apostille from the FCDO Legalisation Office. You avoid multiple errands and benefit from a coordinated, compliant process.

This all-in-one approach is ideal for immigration, studies, professional registration, corporate transactions, and court matters. Common document types include birth and marriage certificates, VOG/police records, academic diplomas and transcripts, powers of attorney, company extracts, articles of association, and contracts. We also support dual-language needs for cross-border submissions.

Turnaround is predictable: translation typically within 24–48 hours for short documents; notarisation often same day; apostille timeframes vary by authority and service level. We provide realistic estimates and optional courier solutions. Throughout, your case manager keeps you informed with clear steps and expected delivery dates.

Quality is verified end-to-end. Your translation is completed by experienced native legal linguists and reviewed for completeness, formatting fidelity, and correct use of terminology. Kings of Translation is a global agency with certified translations accepted worldwide. We’re an ATA member and maintain a customer-first culture that drives a 98% return rate.

If you’re comparing options, explore our wider certified translation services and dedicated apostille translation services to understand how we standardise compliance across document types while keeping the process simple.

The UK apostille process for Dutch-related paperwork typically follows three stages: (1) Translation and certification by Kings of Translation, (2) Notarisation by a UK notary public for the translator’s signature, and (3) Apostille issued by the FCDO Legalisation Office confirming the notary’s authority. The result is a document set accepted across Hague Convention countries.

Important jurisdiction note: an apostille confirms the origin of a signature or seal, not the content itself. Original Dutch documents generally receive an apostille from the Netherlands’ authorities. When we produce a certified translation in the UK, the apostille validates the UK notary’s signature on the translation. We will advise the correct route for your specific destination country and purpose.

Timelines are practical and transparent. Translations are usually delivered in 24–48 hours for short items. Notarisation can be arranged the same day. Apostille processing varies—standard service can take 1–3 weeks depending on official workloads. We can coordinate secure courier options and return shipping to meet consular or university deadlines.

Pricing is straightforward: certified translation from £29.90 per page (or standard from £0.05 per word), plus notary fees and FCDO legalisation fees. We quote everything upfront, including optional courier services, so you can plan confidently without hidden extras. As a global agency recognised internationally, we align formatting and legal references with destination requirements.

You may need Dutch apostille translation when relocating for work, study, or family, opening a company abroad, validating academic credentials, or submitting evidence to courts and registrars. Whether you are moving from the Netherlands to the UK, from the UK to the Netherlands, or to another country entirely, we prepare documents for global submission.

Acceptance matters. Our certified translations are widely recognised for immigration (including the UK Home Office), universities, professional bodies, banks, and corporate registries. Apostilles are accepted by 120+ Hague Convention countries worldwide. We also translate already apostilled documents and produce certified copies for international portfolios.

Security is a constant priority. We use secure ordering, encrypted file transfer, and controlled access to translators. Hard-copy packs for notarisation and apostille are prepared with tamper-evident methods and clear cover sheets. You’ll receive digital PDFs and, where required, stamped originals couriered to your address.

Kings of Translation pairs reliable processes with attentive service. Your coordinator clarifies requirements, timelines, and destination preferences so there are no surprises. With competitive pricing, rapid delivery, and experienced legal linguists, your Dutch documentation is handled precisely and professionally from start to finish.
