Sworn Translation in Amsterdam: Certified Documents for Gemeente and IND

Amsterdam is the administrative, financial, and cultural capital of the Netherlands. For thousands of Ukrainians, this city—dynamic and highly organized—has become the first stop for starting a new life: studying at the University of Amsterdam (UvA), working in the high-tech sector, or registering a business.

Interacting with the local authorities, especially the Municipality of Amsterdam (Gemeente Amsterdam) for BSN registration, or the IND (Immigration Service) for a residence permit, requires documents to be prepared flawlessly. Dutch officials only accept a sworn translation (Beëdigde vertaling). A simple notarized translation from Ukraine is not valid. "Admiral" Translation Agency offers a fully remote service in Amsterdam, providing official documents that are guaranteed to be accepted by all state authorities.

Which Documents We Translate in Amsterdam

We specialize in documents essential for integration into the life of the Dutch capital.

1. For IND and Gemeente Amsterdam

This is crucial for legal residence in the city:

• Sworn translation of the birth certificate (mandatory with Apostille!) for BRP registration at the Gemeente.

• Sworn translation of the marriage or divorce certificate for civil status registration.

• Certificates of family status for family reunification procedures via the IND.

2. Education and Work (IDW / Universities)

For those planning to study or work as kennismigranten (knowledge migrants):

• Translation of diplomas, academic transcripts, and school certificates for evaluation by IDW (International Diploma Valuation) or direct submission to universities.

• Documents for the Tax Authority (Belastingdienst) for the 30% ruling tax benefit.

3. Business (KvK - Chamber of Commerce)

Amsterdam is an international business hub. We translate:

• Documents for registering a company (BV) or self-employment (ZZP) with the Chamber of Commerce (Kamer van Koophandel).

• Extracts from the commercial register and powers of attorney.

4. Drivers (CBR)

• Sworn translation of the Ukrainian driver's license for the exchange procedure (if eligible) at the CBR.

Translation Specifics in the Netherlands: The Language Option

The Dutch system has one major feature that allows you to save significantly on costs.

1. Sworn Translation (Beëdigde vertaling) In the Netherlands, only translations performed by a specialist registered in the national register Rbtv (Register beëdigde tolken en vertalers) are accepted. The translation is signed, stamped, and stitched to the copy of the source document. We guarantee the use of certified Beëdigd vertaler services.

2. Save Money: Sworn Translation into English Dutch law allows state bodies (including the IND and Gemeente Amsterdam) to accept documents translated into Dutch, English, German, or French. Your Advantage in Amsterdam: Ordering a sworn translation into English through our agency is often significantly cheaper and faster than a translation into Dutch. We recommend this option where possible, as it is accepted by the vast majority of official institutions.

3. Apostille (Apostille) The Gemeente Amsterdam is strict about the legalization of source documents. Your Ukrainian certificate must have an Apostille stamp on the original. We provide the "turnkey" service: Apostille in Ukraine + Sworn Translation + Delivery to Amsterdam.
