Frequently asked questions
Does Netherlands accept a U.S. apostille?
Yes. Netherlands is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so a U.S. document needs only a single apostille — there is no embassy or consulate step.
Does a certificate of good standing need to be notarized?
No. A certificate of good standing is a corporate record certified by the Illinois Secretary of State — the office it was filed with — so there is no notary and no county-clerk step. We can obtain the certified copy for you, or you can send us a state-certified copy you already hold; then we legalize it for Netherlands.
How long does it take to legalize a document for Netherlands?
A typical single-document order takes 8-10 business days once we have your documents, so an order placed today would be ready around October 21, 2026. Timelines exclude shipping and can vary with government processing and consular queues.
How much does it cost to legalize a certificate of good standing for Netherlands?
Our fee for a single certificate of good standing for Netherlands starts at $290.80. That excludes document scanning ($1 per page) and return or forwarding shipping; applicable government and consular fees are included. Use the estimator above to price multiple documents.
Do I need to send you the original documents?
Yes. Apostilles and consular legalization are affixed to original, wet-ink or officially certified documents, so we work with the physical originals. We return the finished, legalized originals to you — or ship them anywhere in the world, including directly to your foreign agent.
