VOG

A VOG (Verklaring omtrent het gedrag) is a certificate of good behaviour that is supposed to prove that someone does not have a criminal record which would prevent him or her from doing his/her job. You need a VOG if you are a teacher or a taxi driver and may need one if you work with money or sensitive information. But VOGs are not compulsory for volunteer work with children or for health service workers.
