Hague Convention Apostille · Florida Department of State
Florida Notary & Apostille for the Netherlands, Done Online or in South Florida.
Whether you are in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, or anywhere else in the world, I notarize your document by video call in English or Dutch and secure the official physical Hague Apostille from the Florida Department of State in Tallahassee. If you are in Fort Lauderdale or Miami, I can also notarize in person.
If your document needs a signature, I notarize it by secure video call from wherever you are; then I file in person in Tallahassee and ship the apostilled document to your address in the Netherlands with tracking.
Documents we apostille most often for the Netherlands
- Florida birth and marriage certificates (certified copy first)
- Powers of attorney (volmacht) for property, vehicles, and legal matters in the Netherlands
- Diplomas and school records for university admission
- Corporate documents for the Kamer van Koophandel (KvK) and powers of attorney for companies

Questions about the apostille for the Netherlands
Can I do everything from the Netherlands, without traveling?+
Yes. The notarization happens by video call and I handle the apostille in Tallahassee. You only send the document and receive it back with tracked shipping.
Does the Netherlands require a translation of the apostilled document?+
Sometimes. Dutch offices may ask for a sworn translation by a beëdigd vertaler, although many authorities accept documents in English. We guide you on what to confirm with the receiving office before you book.
How long does the apostille for the Netherlands take?+
About 6 business days standard ($199), 4 priority ($249), or 3 express with online notarization ($299), plus courier time to your address.
Can I sign a volmacht (power of attorney) for the Netherlands online?+
Yes. You sign by secure video call with a Florida notary commissioned under Chapter 117 of the Florida Statutes, from the Netherlands or anywhere else. The Florida Department of State apostille then makes it valid in the Netherlands; both countries are parties to the 1961 Hague Convention, so no Dutch consular step is needed.
