Dutch police certificate
for use in the UK.
Asked for a Dutch criminal record or police certificate for a UK visa, regulated job or another official process? For the Netherlands, the relevant document is generally the VOG (Verklaring Omtrent het Gedrag). I can help prepare the VOG route and coordinate a certified English translation and international document handling when required.
Dutch VOG for UK official use
Obtain the Dutch criminal record certificate requested for your UK file
Add a certified translation when the UK process requires the Dutch document in English
Confirm the exact requirements of the visa route, employer or receiving authority
Return the completed document route to you or another agreed address
When the UK may ask for a Dutch police certificate
Certain UK visa routes and employers can require overseas criminal record certificates. If your relevant residence history includes the Netherlands, the Dutch VOG may be the certificate you need to provide.
You previously lived in the Netherlands
Some UK immigration routes require overseas criminal record certificates based on where you have lived. If the Netherlands falls within that requirement, a Dutch VOG may be relevant.
You are entering a regulated profession
Criminal record certificates can be required for certain UK roles, including specified jobs in healthcare, education and social care. The exact requirement depends on the route and your circumstances.
An English translation may be required
The VOG itself is issued in Dutch. UK immigration guidance generally requires certified translations for supporting documents that are not in English or Welsh.
What does your UK process require?
Select what you already have and what the visa route, employer or receiving organisation asks for. The checker gives you a practical starting route and prepares a WhatsApp message with the details.
Select all that apply.

Send my route to AaronOne Dutch VOG route for use in the UK
The core service covers preparation and coordination of the Dutch VOG route. Certified English translation, apostille and other document steps are added only when your receiving authority or representative requires them.
What I need to check your UK route
I first match the Dutch VOG application to the purpose of your UKn nationality file. This prevents adding apostille or translation steps that your receiving office does not actually request.
Your personal details
Full name, date and place of birth, nationality or nationalities and the other details needed for the Dutch VOG application.
The UKn request
Send the relevant checklist, email, letter or screenshot showing what criminal-record document the UK authority or your representative asks for.
Your Netherlands connection
Tell me whether you still need the Dutch VOG or already have it, so I can start at the correct stage of the UK route.
Translation or apostille instructions
If your lawyer, Conservatória or other receiving office specifically mentions translation, apostille or legalisation, include that wording so the route can be matched correctly.
Do not assume every UK file needs exactly the same document chain. The fastest way to avoid unnecessary steps is to send the exact request. I will check the Dutch side of the route before work begins.
Hi, I’m Aaron. I handle your document personally.
When you contact Apostille Assist about a UKn visa or immigration file, you deal directly with me. I review the Dutch VOG requirement, coordinate the agreed steps in the Netherlands and keep you informed throughout the process. No call centre and no handovers between different case managers.
Frequently asked questions
What Dutch police certificate is used for UKn visa or immigration?
When a UKn nationality file asks for a police certificate or criminal-record document from the Netherlands, the Dutch document normally used is the Verklaring Omtrent het Gedrag (VOG).
Do I need a Dutch VOG if I previously lived in the Netherlands?
It can be relevant when your UKn nationality procedure asks for criminal-record documents from countries where you have lived. Your own checklist or representative should determine which countries must be covered.
Does the Dutch VOG need a Certified English translation?
UKn nationality guidance can require foreign criminal-record documents to be accompanied by a certified Certified English translation. I can coordinate a sworn Certified English translation when it is required for your file.
Does the VOG always need an apostille for UK?
No. I do not automatically add an apostille. The correct route depends on the receiving office and the instructions for your nationality application. If an apostille is requested, it can be arranged on the Dutch VOG.
Can you help if I no longer live in the Netherlands?
Yes. The service is designed for people abroad as well. I can prepare and coordinate the Dutch VOG route and then continue with the agreed translation, apostille and delivery steps.
Can the finished documents be sent to UK?
Yes. Once the required Dutch steps are complete, the physical documents can be sent to you, your representative or another agreed address.
Need a Dutch police certificate for UKn visa or immigration?
Send the UKn requirement and I will match it to the correct Dutch VOG route before unnecessary document steps are added.
