What is a proof or statement of Dutch nationality?

A proof of that Dutch citizenship is a statement from the municipality showing that you hold Dutch nationality. You request this document from the municipality where you are registered. You often need a proof of Dutch citizenship when moving abroad, a wedding abroad or to practise certain professions, such as a role in public administration. For use abroad a sworn translation is required.

Why a sworn translation is needed

A sworn translation is a translation made by a translator entered in the Register of Sworn Interpreters and Translators (Rbtv). The translator provides the translation with a stamp, signature and statement and attaches these to your source document. This makes the translation legally valid and accepted by foreign authorities. For some countries an apostille from the court is also required. A apostille confirms the authenticity of the signature under the Apostille Convention (Hague Convention, 1961).
