Authentication chain for Certificate of Fact bound for Netherlands
Netherlands is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention — therefore Certificate of Fact must pass through: Notary Public → MFA Thailand → Apostille (for Netherlands).
Once the MFA issues an Apostille, Netherlands accepts it directly — no further embassy step required, saving 1-2 weeks and embassy fees.
Our team refreshes Netherlands requirements quarterly to avoid bounce-back on format changes.
