Legalize signature

If you need to prove that your signature on a document is really yours, you can have your signature legalized. You can arrange this at the municipality where you are registered. By legalizing it, we declare that it is your signature. 

Legalize signature

You must legalise your signature in person at the town hall. Please make an appointment for this. 

Please note: Do not sign yet. You only sign the document with us, in the presence of an official. 

When do I need to legalize my signature?

Legalizing a signature is often necessary: 

  • on documents that need to be sent abroad; 
  • If you give your consent for something, for example, if you act as a guarantor for family or friends from abroad; 
  • if you want to settle an inheritance abroad. 

How much does it cost?

Legalizing a signature costs € 17.10.

What do I bring to the appointment?

Please bring the following to your appointment at the town hall:   

  • a valid proof of identity; 
  • a debit card or cash; 
  • the document on which you want to place your signature. 

How does it work?

You sign the document during the appointment, in the presence of an official. The official compares it with the signature on your identity document. The official then signs the legalization declaration on behalf of the mayor.

When will I receive the statement?

We will legalize your signature immediately, so you will receive the document back right away.
