Declaration of no objection (VGB)
1. What is a declaration of no objection?
A declaration of no objection (VGB) is a declaration that is issued after a security investigation by the Minister of the Interior, on behalf of the General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD), to a person who qualifies for a confidential position. A safety investigation is more in-depth than, for example, an investigation for a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG). A security investigation is much broader.
The AIVD carries out a security investigation after a request from the (future) employer. If the result is positive, the VGB is issued.
The VGB is valid as long as the person works in the same confidential position or job group for which the VGB was issued. A renewed examination must take place after 5 years.
2. Which documents does my employee need to request a declaration of no objection for civil aviation?
A ‘Civil Aviation Safety Investigation Statement’ has to be completed and signed by the employee, via the website of the General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD). A ‘Registration for Civil Aviation Safety Investigation’ to be completed and signed by the employer via the website of the General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD). An easily readable copy of a valid ID of the employee and his/her partner, if any. Are all documents fully completed, printed and signed in pen?

Maastricht Aachen Airport
ATTENTION Pass office

3. How long does it take for the investigation to be completed?
The investigation has a legal duration of 8 weeks. If information from third parties is required for a security investigation, for example if the employee has stayed abroad for a longer period of time prior to his/her application, it is possible that the investigation will take longer than 8 weeks.
4. When will the declaration of no objection be refused?
Grounds for refusal can be:
• Negative information is known (usually judicial antecedents or information from the AIVD’s own system).
• Insufficient data is known (for example after a stay abroad)
Personal behavior and circumstances.
5. How long is the declaration of no objection for civil aviation valid?
As long as the employee works in the same confidential position and for the same employer and the VGB has not been withdrawn, the VGB remains valid. Although a VGB has no end date, European regulations regarding civil aviation require new screening every 5 years.
