Legalisation of
Bangladeshi documents
When Bangladeshi
documents are to be used for any official purpose in the Netherlands
they have to be legalised by the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Dhaka.
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.
The legalisation fee
will have to be paid when the document is submitted for legalisation
at the embassy.
Your co-operation
will be asked in answerering questions about the document and the
contents. It is helpful if you bring the passport of the person(s)
involved, or a copy of all relevant pages.
