Netherlands
Document Apostille
Korean birth certificates apostilled for the Netherlands are required for residence permit applications to the IND (Immigratie- en Naturalisatiedienst), marriage registration at the Dutch gemeente, civil registration, and nationality applications. The document must be apostilled by MOFA and translated into Dutch by a beëdigd vertaler.
Does the Dutch IND require an apostille on my Korean birth certificate?
Yes. The IND requires that foreign civil status documents be apostilled or legalized. For Korea, an apostille from MOFA is the correct certification. The document must also be accompanied by a certified Dutch translation by a beëdigd vertaler.
What is a beëdigd vertaler and why is one required?
A beëdigd vertaler is a sworn translator officially registered in the Netherlands' Rbtv register (Register beëdigde tolken en vertalers). Dutch authorities including the IND and gemeente only accept translations from registered sworn translators.
