NB. You can only apply for the Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) if you are registered with a Dutch municipality.
A Declaration on Behavior (VOG) is proof of good behaviour. A VOG shows that your behavior in the past is not an objection to the task or function that you will perform in a new job. For example, an employer can ask for a VOG if you are going to work with children or if you are going to work with personal data.
You apply for the VOG together with the person requesting it, usually an employer or an association.
It costs € 33.85 to apply for a VOG online. Requesting a VOG at the desk costs € 41.35.
Processing the application takes about 4 weeks.
