When this is relevant in India

A Dutch police clearance certificate may be requested when an Indian recipient needs background, conduct or criminal-record related evidence from the Netherlands.

✓Employment, visa, OCI, immigration, university, licensing, adoption, volunteering, compliance or authority procedures
✓Requests involving VOG, police clearance, Certificate of Conduct, background check or criminal-record evidence
✓Situations where apostille, translation, recent issue date or physical delivery may be required

Check the required wording and date

Indian recipients may apply their own rules for how recent the certificate must be and whether apostille or translation is required.

✓Check whether the request says VOG, police clearance, background check or Certificate of Conduct
✓Review any issue-date limits before arranging the document
✓Confirm whether the final document must be apostilled, translated, uploaded or sent physically
