Additional costs and optional services
Two items can be added on top of the card rate. The first is VAT on the translation service. The second is an apostille, which you can order through us as an optional service if your file needs one.
Does VAT apply to a sworn translation?
A sworn translation service in the Netherlands carries the general VAT rate of 21%. The VAT is listed separately on the invoice, so you can see the amount.
Private customers pay the VAT amount on top of the card rate. For VAT-registered business customers the VAT is usually deductible as input tax, as far as the service is used for business. Check with your accountant or the Belastingdienst for your own situation.

What does an apostille cost at SpoedvertalingOnline.nl?
An apostille is €99 per document. The price is all-in: the court fee, the application at the Dutch court and the handling are all part of it.
You do not have to go to the court yourself. You tick apostille during the order and we arrange the whole process. Whether you need an apostille depends on the country: for countries party to the Apostille Convention an apostille is enough, for other countries consular legalisation is required. We guide you through the right order, which you can read about on our apostille and legalisation page.

In practice: Most documents for the IND, a Dutch court or a municipality do not need an apostille, because our sworn translation is enough on its own. Foreign authorities such as embassies, foreign courts or universities usually do need one. Read more about apostille and legalisation.
Payment methods
Pay securely and quickly through Mollie, an established Dutch payment provider. Every common payment method is accepted.

Frequently asked questions about pricing
Answers to the questions we hear most often about our prices and service
How much does a sworn translation cost in the Netherlands?
From €55 for the first page for Dutch ↔ English or French, and from €79 for other languages; the exact total for longer documents is shown in the order form before you pay. That price covers the translation, the sworn statement, the official stamp and the acceptance guarantee. A digital copy (€9.95), registered shipping (€9.95, free from €299) and an apostille (€99 per document) are optional.
What is included in the base price?
The base price covers four things: the translation itself, the sworn statement, the official stamp and our acceptance guarantee. Together these make the document valid for official use in the Netherlands. Delivery and a digital copy are not part of the base price; you add them separately if you need them.
How much does delivery cost?
Registered shipping within the Netherlands is €9.95, and free from €299 (subtotal, Netherlands only). A digital copy by email is a separate option at €9.95. The standard delivery timeframe of 5-7 working days carries no surcharge and is included in the price of the translation.
How much extra is an apostille?
An apostille is €99 per document and is optional. The price is all-in: it includes the court fee and the court application. You can add it during your order, and we arrange it together with the sworn translation, so you do not have to apply for it yourself.
Can I get a sworn translation faster, and what does that cost?
Standard delivery is 5-7 working days. If you need it sooner, express delivery takes 2-3 working days (+50%, minimum €55), and same-day (shipped within 24 hours) is available for Dutch ↔ English or French when ordered before 12:00 on a working day (+100%, minimum €75). Both are options you select in the order form.
Will I see the full price before I pay?
Yes. After you upload your document and choose the language pair and any options, you see your price straight away, before you confirm. The amount shown is the amount you pay, with shipping, a digital copy or an apostille added only if you select them.
