Frequently Asked Questions

If your employer is not visible in MijnDSI, this may be because your employer is not a participant of the DSI Foundation. To certify as a professional, your employer must be affiliated with our foundation.

More information on registering companies as participants can be found here. If you have additional questions, you can always contact one of our customer care officers via email: info@dsi.nl or call 020 620 12 74. In addition to your question, please include the following information in your email:

  • Your first and last name
  • Your DSI registration number
  • Which DSI register you are enrolled in

We will take your e-mail and get back to you as soon as possible.

Your degrees remain valid as long as they meet the current requirements of the registry in which you were certified. You can view the current registry requirements on this page under the specific registry.

If you are DSI-certified, you not only demonstrate professional competence, but you also subject yourself to the DSI Code of Conduct and are therefore subject to DSI disciplinary law. Employers affiliated with us must report incidents involving their DSI-certified employees to DSI. This is how self-regulation works. Employers who are not affiliated with DSI have no reporting obligation. Therefore, you can only maintain your certification if you are with an employer who participates in DSI. Employers with an AFM or DNB license can join DSI. Look here for more information.

Congratulations on passing your certificate! We are notified each month of the exams passed by the training institutes. We then add the exam results to the certifications. You do not have to do anything at all for this.

Notice: In the information exchange between trainers and DSI, we do not always have a unique identifier. As a result, in some cases a link may not have been made. If you send a copy of your certificate to info@dsi.nl we will update the status of your certification for you as soon as possible.

Once you have passed your last professional competence section, your status can be changed from candidate certified to certified. Also, if you notice that your status is not displayed correctly in the DSI Public Register, you can have it corrected.

In that case, send a message with your registration number to DSI via the contact form or call 020 – 620 12 74. DSI will then ensure that your correct status is visible in the Public Register within two working days. In this way, your integrity and professionalism as a financial professional is always up to date and visible to the sector.
