Anyone familiar with obtaining a Schengen Certificate for Medications? Located the Dutch Form requesting completion with Physician's BIG registration number and stamp. Is there a form for US Physicians? Is the stamp a notary? ANy guidance would be appreciated. I cannot get anyone to answer on the phone. Thank you.

Forgive me: I am specifically asking for advice from someone experienced with obtaining a Schengen Certificate for Medications from a USA physician to enter the Netherlands. Hitting a wall with my research: have general information. Have the official link (emailed for info: response can take over a week), have telephoned the consulate (no specific anwers), and Telephoned the CAK ( Netherlands Processing Center during business hours with auto message in Dutch: Not expecting they will call an international number to reply). Kindly requesting specific answers. 1. Is there a form specific to USA physician filling out? 2. The form I do have indicates needing a BIG registration Number, which appears to be a Netherlands registry and a Stamp ( notary? or clearly written name?) The forms must be submitted and approved before arriving in the Country. Thank you for any advice that can be provided.

Embassy in Washington DC was helpful this am. As I now understand The Schengen Certificate is for Netherland's Residents. US resident's are to bring a statement of need from their physician in USA.
