Certificate of Conduct (VOG)

Employers and other organizations may request a Certificate of Conduct (VOG). This statement says that your behaviour is no objection to a certain task or function. Justis investigates whether you have done something criminal in the past. For example, a VOG is mandatory for teachers, taxi drivers and people in childcare. This certificate may also be required when applying for a visa or work permit, for example.

Conditions

You will receive a Certificate of Conduct (VOG) if you have not committed any criminal offenses. Have you done something punishable? Then Justis will check whether this is important for the task or function for which you apply for the VOG.

Approach

You can request a VOG digitally from Justis if the request is digitally prepared by the organization which the VOG requests from you. When this is not the case, you can submit the completed form digitally and directly pay it to the municipality via the ‘request online’ link.

This is how you request a VOG online via Justis:

Check with the organization for which you need a VOG whether they can prepare the application digitally.
You will receive an e-mail with a link to complete the application.
Log in with your DigiD.
Verify your information.
You pay the VOG online with iDEAL.
You will receive the VOG at home.

Is the organization unable to prepare the application digitally? Then you will receive the correct application form from the organization.

Complete the application form.
Go to the municipality's digital form via the 'request online' button above.
Log in with your DigiD.
Upload the completed application form.
You pay the VOG with the application.
The municipality will forward your request to Justis.
You will receive the VOG at home.

You can start your request of a Certificate of Conduct (VOG) by clicking on the button 'Online regelen'. Please be aware that this form is only available in Dutch.

Are you unable to digitally fill in your application form? Then you can contact our Customer Contact Center via telephone number 14 0492. They will be happy to help you.
