Why Apostille Documents for the Netherlands
If you need to use a UK document in the Netherlands for BRP registration, marriage at the gemeente, residency or family-law matters, it will need an Apostille certificate. UK birth and marriage certificates, decree absolutes and certificates of no impediment are the most commonly apostilled UK documents for Dutch use.
The Netherlands is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, with the Convention having entered into force in 1965. Once your UK document has been apostilled by the FCDO, no further attestation at the Dutch Embassy is needed for the document to be accepted by Dutch authorities.
