Designed for letters that are not meant to be shared

Official letters contain highly personal data. DutchLetter keeps as little of it as possible and for as short a time as possible.

The BSN is never stored
The citizen service number (BSN) is removed from the image before analysis.
Originals are deleted immediately
Only the text without the BSN is kept and it is used solely to produce the report.
Everything is deleted after 30 days
Reports are deleted automatically after 30 days. Deletion can also be requested at any time with one click.
No tracking cookies
No advertising pixels and no tracking scripts. No account. Hosted in the EU.

Frequently asked questions

Is this legal advice?

No. DutchLetter explains the letter and prepares a draft reply. The user checks the draft and signs and sends it. For court cases and immigration decisions the service refers to free professional help.

How reliable are the deadlines?

Each deadline is calculated from the date on the letter and the legal rule that applies to that type of letter. Nothing is estimated. The deadline should always be compared with the date printed on the letter.

Is a refund possible?

The report is produced and delivered immediately after payment and the customer agrees to this at checkout. The 14-day cooling-off period therefore does not apply. If a report contains an error, support will correct it or refund the payment.

Is the service available in Dutch?

Yes. The language can be switched to NL at the top of the page. Reply letters are always written in formal Dutch and come with an English translation.
