Professional Dutch death certificate translation certified and accepted worldwide

A certified Dutch death certificate translation includes a complete, line-by-line rendering of the original, the translator’s signed certification on company letterhead, the translation date, and contact details. This package meets standard requirements for British authorities such as the Home Office, HM Courts & Tribunals Service for probate, and local registrars, as well as international bodies handling estate matters.

Kings of Translation assigns native-level linguists who specialise in civil registry documents from the Netherlands and Belgium (Flemish). Terminology, names, dates, seals, and references are reproduced precisely. Any stamps or marginal notes on the certificate are translated and clearly marked to maintain legal clarity and evidential value.

Pricing is straightforward: certified translations are £29.90 per page, while non-certified standard translation starts at £0.05 per word. Most single-page certificates are delivered within 24 hours, with expedited options available. We supply secure PDF files for immediate use and can dispatch printed copies upon request if physical submission is required.

Our process is designed for sensitive cases involving a deceased person—whether for estate settlement, inheritance claims, or insurance notifications. If related documents are needed, we can coordinate multi-document projects. Learn more about our broader capability on our page for death certificate translations.

With a 98% customer return rate, personal project managers, and responsive updates, our team ensures the translation is right the first time—minimising delays and helping proceedings move forward across jurisdictions.

We follow a rigorous, multi-step quality process: specialist translator assignment, second-linguist review where required, and final formatting checks to mirror the structure of the original certificate. Names, registry numbers, and dates are cross-verified. Any unclear elements are flagged for clarification to avoid ambiguities during legal review.

Security is integral. All files are handled through encrypted systems, and our operations are GDPR-compliant. We maintain strict confidentiality for documents involving a deceased family member, and access is limited to the linguists and managers assigned to the project.

Our certifications are recognised globally, including for UK Home Office submissions, HMCTS probate, EU authorities, US agencies (USCIS acceptance), and other international institutions. When needed, we can advise on notarisation or apostille routes, coordinating with notaries or guiding you to obtain an apostille in the relevant jurisdiction.

As a global agency with BBB A+ credentials and ATA membership, Kings of Translation combines international compliance knowledge with local expectations. If additional documents such as passports or registry extracts are required for related procedures, see our certified translation services for a complete solution.

From layout preservation to seal annotations, our team ensures the translation is both technically accurate and presented in a professional, official format that authorities understand and trust.

Time-sensitive probate or insurance actions often require a death certificate rapidly. We deliver most one-page Dutch certificates within 24 hours, with same-day options where feasible. Multi-page files and combinations with notarisation or apostille guidance are scoped promptly so you can plan timeframes with confidence.

Our pricing is simple and transparent: certified translations are £29.90 per page; standard, non-certified translations start at £0.05 per word for related correspondence or supporting documents. Quotes include delivery timelines, digital certification, and optional printed copies. No hidden fees—just clear scope and dedicated support.

Order online in minutes. Upload a clear, complete scan or photo, and confirm any special requirements (printed copies, country-specific submission format, or notarisation). Your project manager will confirm details before work begins and provide updates through completion.

If travel or consular arrangements are involved, we can also assist with related documents—explore our passport translation to streamline multi-document submissions when moving between countries after bereavement.

With worldwide acceptance and careful attention to format and content, our translations help avoid rejections that can cause costly delays—so estate settlement, inheritance procedures, and administrative notifications proceed without interruption.
