Employees

• A digital, approved and valid pass request with 'visit BC' status
• A valid and original ID, or a residence permit together with a foreign passport (for non-EU/EER citizens)
• A valid Declaration of No Objection (VGB), if applicable
• A valid Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG), if applicable. A hard copy of the Certificate of Good Conduct is required for the issue of the Schiphol Pass. We do not accept Certificates of Good Conduct applied for digitally.
• The certificates of the completed e-learning modules: bring them printed to the Badge Center or download them on your phone and show them on-site on your phone.

The details on the Certificate of No Objection (VGB) must correspond with the details on your identity document.

• Do you work through a staff agency? If so, the details on the VGB must correspond with the information held by the agency.
• A VGB is valid for a period of five years and is linked to the Schiphol Pass. Exactly five years after the date of issue of your VGB, your pass will expire too.
• You will therefore need to apply for a new certificate every five years.
• Temporary staff will be issued a Schiphol Pass for a maximum of six months. This allows you to use the same VGB several times.
• The General Intelligence and Security Service of the Netherlands (AIVD) takes eight weeks to process VGB applications. You must therefore apply for a certificate in good time.

Good to know: Schiphol uses iris recognition for passes in protected areas. Do you wear contact lenses? Bring a contact lens tray and solution with you, as you will need to remove them for the iris scan.

To obtain a Schiphol pass, you must complete the mandatory e-learnings and take a Safety & Security test at the Badge Center. The e-learnings you need to complete depend on the authorizations you will receive. Once your employer has applied for a Schiphol pass on your behalf, you will receive an email regarding this matter.

You will only be given a Schiphol Pass if you satisfy the conditions of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. In addition, the Badge Centre can only help if you have made an appointment in advance and have completed the e-learnings applicable to your authorisations.
