Police certificate from the Netherlands (Verklaring Omtrent het Gedrag, VOG)

[mark12345680]

Hi everyone,

Has anyone applied for a Dutch police certificate (VOG) lately? I live outside of NL and it's been 3 weeks since I submitted my application.
So far, I've not heard anything from them. So I'm wondering if anyone who has applied for a VOG lately can share their timeline.
Thanks

I had it sent to my home address directly. I received the VOG the very next day I made this post lol

Hi Mark, I would like to ask you a few questions if you don't mind.
Did you request your VOG by email like specified on the website? Did everything work normally for you despite COVID?
Also, did you receive ADR before or after MEP/BIL?

Hi Niara, I made my request for a VOG according to the instructions on the Juris’ website. Additionally, I also added the police letter request I received in my EE profile, although not specifically required I did it anyway.
Received my ADR & BIL the same day I got my pass for my medical. Hope my info helps.
Edit: COVID did not really have an impact on the processing time of my VOG, took around 3 weeks from submitting the application to actually receiving it in the mail.

Thanks a lot for your answer! Good luck on your application!

Hello,

I'm applying for spouse sponsorship and my husband lived Netherlands for a year. We don't have any request letter from ircc for PCC.

Can we go ahead and fill the VOG JUSTIS application form and include a letter of explanation about this immigration process and send it to VOG ? Can we send the application without signature and seal of ircc?

Please any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I just looked at my request again for the PCC. I did attach the IRCC request letter with my PCC application. I know you want to get ahead of the game by collecting documents earlier, but I still think it is safer to raise a webform and ask for a Police certificate request letter Good luck.

Thank you so much, I will do it right away

Hey Mark,

Did you have to translate the letter from Dutch to English or did you directly upload the scanned copy that's in Dutch?

Thanks

The police certificate came back with English translation at the bottom, which is enough. You can verify on the IRCC’s website

The Certificate of Good Conduct is issued in Dutch with a portion translated into English at the bottom. It’s not necessary to have it translated into English or French.

Haha it's not for me. I need to sponsor my wife soon when I move to Canada in a couple of weeks. I got my PR in 3 months back in 2019. Did my landing but never lived there.
