This is just a selection of the professional groups for which a VOG Certificate of Good Conduct is mandatory. It may differ per profession and situation whether a VOG is mandatory.

When compiling a screening profile, Valicare likes to think along with you about matching VOG profiles.
How long is a VOG valid?
In principle, a Declaration on Behavior is valid for an indefinite period. This means that the VOG always remains valid, unless there are new criminal offenses that are relevant to the activities for which the VOG was issued. In that case, the validity of the VOG can be revoked.
There are situations in which the validity of the VOG is limited, for example for voluntary work or internships. In these cases, the period of validity of the VOG is usually limited to a maximum of two years. After that, the candidate or employee will have to be tested again for a Certificate of Good Conduct.
