Ensuring the trustworthiness and integrity of our contractors is paramount, especially for clients under the supervision of the Dutch National Bank (DNB), which mandates stringent screening procedures. Here's an overview of what you need to understand about criminal background checks. Keep in mind that each client may have distinct screening criteria, which we meticulously follow to meet their specific needs.
Verklaring Omtrent Gedrag (VOG)
Positions involving financial transactions or interactions with children in the Netherlands typically necessitate a clean criminal record. For contractors residing in the Netherlands, registered with their local municipality, and possessing a BSN (Dutch Social Security Number), we streamline the digital application process for the Verklaring Omtrent Gedrag (VOG) - Criminal Background Check. We usually request the general CBC International as required.
Request process for contractors abroad
Contractors currently residing abroad must obtain a Certificate Of Conduct from their respective local government. Here are examples of such requests:
• Brazil: Criminal Record Certificate
• France: Extrait de Casier Judiciaire
• Germany: Führungszeugnis Antrag
• Greece: Αντίγραφο Ποινικού Μητρώου
• India: Police Verification Certificate
• Iran: Clean Record Certificate
• Ireland: Police Certificate
• Luxembourg: Casier Judiciaire / Strafregisteramt
• Poland: Informacja O Osobie Z Krajowego Rejestru Karnego
• Romania: Certificat de Cazier Judiciar
• Singapore: Certificate of Clearance
• Sri Lanka: Police Clearance Certificate
• Turkey: Arsiv Kayitli Sabika Kaydi/Adli Sicil Arsiv Kaydi
Original paperwork
For the verification process, it is essential that we receive the original documents. If you receive a Verklaring Omtrent Gedrag (VOG) at your home address, please ensure that the original is sent to our office address. Contractors residing abroad must also provide original paperwork; these documents should be officially translated into English and stamped before being submitted.
Payment
We are unable to directly cover the costs of criminal background checks because they must be filed personally by the contractor. We kindly ask that you pay for these checks initially and then submit an expense form for reimbursement.
Privacy and consent
Rest assured, all requested information adheres to GDPR regulations, and we strictly uphold your privacy rights. We never contact individuals without obtaining explicit consent upfront.
