Legalisation of
Bangladeshi documents

documents are to be used for any official purpose in the Netherlands

The documents should be in the English language and should be drawn
up in accordance to Bangladesh laws and regulations. Only correct
documents attested by the competent Authority of the Bangladesh
Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be accepted for legalisation.
