Dutch to English Translation
Dutch civil and business documents headed to the US or UK skip the Rbtv sworn-translator register entirely: USCIS and UKVI both accept a plain signed statement of accuracy from a competent translator, with no Bureau Wbtv registration or notarization required. The underlying Dutch document still typically needs an apostille — the Netherlands has issued them since 1965 — obtained before translation, not after.

Certification & formatting notes
The beëdigd vertaler standard that Bureau Wbtv and the Rbtv register enforce governs translations into the Netherlands, not out of it — USCIS asks only for a signed certification of the translator's competence and completeness, and UKVI's rules are functionally identical, with no notarization or apostille needed on the translation itself. What trips up this corridor is the source document's shelf life: municipalities cap some BRP extracts at six months' validity for immigration purposes, so a translation can go stale before the filing does. Dutch apostilles for civil documents come from the rechtbank in the issuing municipality, and that has to happen before translation, since the apostille becomes part of what gets translated.
