Frequently asked questions

Do I need a sworn translation for a VOG?
If your criminal record certificate is in Spanish or another foreign language, Dutch authorities typically require a sworn translation before it can be used in a VOG or IND application.
Is this the same as a Dutch VOG?
No. A VOG is issued in the Netherlands. We translate your foreign criminal record certificate so Dutch authorities can assess it.
Do I need to send the original certificate?
No. You upload a scan or PDF. We translate from your upload and post the sworn translation. Keep the original yourself.
How long does it take?
Standard 3–5 business days after your document and payment are confirmed. Priority (2–3 business days) is available for a 50% surcharge.
