In order to apply for the Certificate an application must be submitted to the local council in the town the subject resided most recently in the Netherlands. If the individual left the Netherlands prior to 1994 or was not registered in the population register, it is advised that the subject send their application directly to the Centraal Orgaan Verklaringen Omtret Gedrag (COVOG).

It typically takes around 2-3 weeks for the Certificate to be issued. The COVOG will check the JDS Criminal Records System. They may also consult police files, Public Prosecution Service or probation service for additional information.

The Act requires that you have consent prior to collecting information on a subject, therefore it is important to have a signed consent form from the subject prior to conducting a background check.

Data Protection restrictions are in place for countries within the European Union (EU) that do not allow for the transfer of data to countries outside of the European Union. Due to this restriction the Safe Harbor was created.
