Municipality of Krimpenerwaard: applying for a Verklaring Omtrent het Gedrag (VOG)
Please note: you can apply for a Verklaring Omtrent het Gedrag – VOG (certificate of conduct) only if you live in the Netherlands and are registered with a municipality.
A Certificate of Conduct (VOG) is proof of good behaviour. A VOG is mandatory for some professions. For example, if you start working in childcare or education. But also if you apply for a firearms permit. The Ministry of Security and Justice issues the statement. The statement shows that your behavior is not an obstacle to performing a certain job.
You can apply for a VOG online if the organization that wants the VOG from you offers this option:
- The organization requesting the VOG will prepare an application for you on the website of Dienst Justis.
- You will receive an e-mail from Dienst Justis. You can complete the application via the link in that e-mail message.
- After payment, Dienst Justis will process the application. You will be notified in writing about your VOG.
- The delivery time is just as long as for an application at the counter: 1 to 4 weeks.
You can also apply for a VOG at the desk in Stolwijk. This is only possible by appointment. We cannot help you without an appointment.
You can only apply for a VOG online if you are registered as an employee in the Netherlands. If you live abroad, an online application is not possible. You need DigiD, a citizen service number and an e-mail address for the application. You must be able to pay with iDEAL.
You pay a fee for this service. For more information, contact the municipality.
You will receive the VOG or the refusal within 4 weeks at the address you specify in the application.
