The process

Preparation
Prepare for your application by determining for which certification you want to apply. All our certifications are listed here, including all the necessary prerequisites.

Application including (pre-)employment screening
Is this your first registration with DSI, are you moving to a different employer, or are you switching from a passive registration to an active one?  Then a personal screening by DSI Screening is standard procedure in our process.

DSI Screening checks your identity, your diplomas, work references of the past five years, your Certificate of Conduct and whether you’ve experienced a personal bankruptcy in the past five years.

Once the application procedure is finalised, you will receive a letter with the results and our digital DSI Screening Report containing all the findings of the screening procure.

Certificate of Conduct 
Being able to provide a Certificate of Conduct is obligatory. This certificate can be requested at the Dutch government ministry for Justice & Security. Upon reception of the certificate, you can upload a scanned, high resolution and full colour version of it to your account on MijnDSI.nl.

Sample test
DSI will at random select screening applicants to provide the paper original of the Certificate of Conduct to verify its authenticity. If our system selects you as a sample test candidate, a request to mail in your original certificate will appear on screen after uploading your scanned copy.

You can mail your original certificate to:
DSI
