Get Order Form - Hague Apostille Service

A notary merely verifies the identity of the person signing the document and that the signature is authentic. An apostille certifies the origin and validity of the actual document itself. If you need to use personal or business documents internationally, an apostille is usually required.

Before submitting documents for authentication, you must: Notarize each document in front of a notary public: ... All seals and signatures must be originals. ... All documents in a foreign language must be translated into English by a certified translator and notarized as a true translation.

A fee of $20.00 per Apostille is required. Payment can be made by credit card (Visa or Mastercard), check, money order, or cash.

How long does it take to get the apostille? Most apostilles are completed in just 1 to 2 days. Occasionally, an order may take a couple of days longer as the FCO may restrict the number of documents we can submit or further document checks may need to be done.

You do not need to pay expensive solicitor fees. If required one of our solicitors will certify your document before the apostille is issued. We make legalisation simple. Our apostille service with solicitor certification is only £84.

The designated Dutch central authorities competent to issue apostilles are the 19 district courts in The Netherlands (Arrondissementsrechtbanken). The Dutch notary's (notaris) signature must be deposited at a district court in order for that court to provide an apostille.
