Application Procedure :
How do I apply / What do I need to do :
You can apply for a Certificate of Good Conduct online. This is faster and cheaper than submitting a paper application via your municipality. The applicant and employer need to submit the online application together.
** The employer requests a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) for the employee through the website of the Dienst Justis. Employers can use eHerkenning (the successor to DigiD for companies) to log in. If your company does not yet have this identification code, you can request one through the website of eHerkenning.
** Once the employer has requested the application, the employee will receive an e-mail with a link to the subsequent procedure. Employees log in with DigiD and pay for the certificate through iDeal. In order to request the certificate, the employee needs a valid e-mail address, iDeal and a DigiD code. The employee also must be registered in the Municipal Personal Records Database (BRP, formerly the GBA).
** Once the application has been completed and payment has been made, the Centraal Orgaan Verklaring Omtrent Gedrag (COVOG) will decide if the employee will get the certificate. If so, the employee will receive the certificate within 4 weeks by post.
More information about applying for a Certificate of Good Conduct online can be found on the website of the Ministry of Security and Justice.
Written application via the municipality :
Your employer will usually provide you with an application form for a Certificate of Good Conduct. You can also download the form from the website of the Ministry of Security and Justice.
