Guidelines and hints for request Police letter in the Netherlands

A Police letter is necessary for different WiredSafety Departments.
This is needed because we must make sure we get no predators and/or child pornographers at WiredSafety.
This all because the case they handle, work with kids and internal information. We try to be sure with this Police Letter to keep unsuitable people out the organization.

You can do the next general step to apply for the Police letter:

1) Print out Parry's letter
2)You need a official ID document, like a passport drivers license, etc.
3)You must expect to pay for the document, about 30 Euro and higher ( the price depends on the city fees and the sort of document)
4) You must go to the City Hall and not to the police office
5) Most you can make a request at the desk for drivers license and passports.
6) With some city halls you can make a appointment before
7) The time between the request and receipt is usually between 2 and 4 weeks

These rules are standard.

In several cities they have several rules and can sometimes give problems

In some cities WiredSafety are unknown and they will not just give the Police letter to you.

You can follow the next steps:

A) Explain what WiredSafety does, give so much information you can, Web site URL, Parry's letter and Parry's e-mail: parry@aftab.com
B) Stay calm and try to discus with the city clerk, remember he/she works for the city and for the city board, he/she is not the person that makes the rules.
C) If this does not help try to contact a member of the city board and talk with him/her. They set aside special times for questions. Try to discus the situation with them.

Most of the time will this help you to receive the Police letter.

Remember stay calm this people are only workers and do not make the rules.

There are two sorts of Police letters:

1) National Police letter, this gives only information about your past in the Netherlands. This is enough for WiredSafety and often cheaper. The time to process your request is same as the international letter, 2 to 4 weeks. The letter is received at your home after the city have made a request to the department of Justice.

2) International Letter, this letter gives an overview of your past by different Police Agency, like
Interpol, Europol, FBI, etc.
They will send this 3 to 4 weeks after your request, to your home, but it is more expensive. This is accepted by WiredSafety too.

The letter will perhaps show many items, but what counts for WiredSafety is:
The item Criminal Records, not your traffic bills or divorce trails.
The letter gives an overview of the last 10 to 20 years.

Your information is keep very secret and will not give out to third parties, only on request of police agency in the case of criminal acts.

You can send the Police letter by airmail to:

WiredSafety 96 Linwood Plaza #417 Ft. Lee, NJ USA 07024-3701
