The Netherlands document path from Pakistan

Degrees are verified by the Higher Education Commission and NADRA documents by the computerised record. The Netherlands reads both once the file route is agreed.

The federal attestation is applied by MOFA. The Netherlands formally objected to Pakistan's accession under Article 12(2) and states it does not recognise Pakistani apostilles, so this attestation is what the receiving office evaluates.

Dutch universities, the recognition process and employers usually ask for a certified Dutch or English translation. We arrange it when your case needs one.

Netherlands flag Process details

Process note Member, but objected to Pakistan's accession, so the Netherlands does not recognise Pakistani apostilles. NetherlandsWorldwide directs Pakistani documents to be legalised by Pakistan's MOFA (in Islamabad or the camp offices), and once legalised they are fit for use across the whole Kingdom, including Aruba, Curaçao, St Maarten, Bonaire, Saba and St Eustatius. Urdu documents must also carry a sworn translation. The route is confirmed with the receiving office per case.
