A clear route for
international use.

The correct order matters. It is confirmed based on the country, receiving authority and the instructions you have received.

STEP 01

Confirm the purpose

We establish why the VOG is required and how the receiving organisation wants the document presented.

STEP 02

Prepare or receive the VOG

We coordinate the application where appropriate. Once issued, the original VOG is received by VOG Assist for the selected onward steps.

STEP 03

Complete the document route

We arrange the required Apostille, sworn translation and international delivery, then send the completed original documentation to the agreed address.

These pages address common destination-specific questions. If your country is not listed, the same starting point applies: confirm the receiving authority’s requirements first.

Hi, I’m Aaron.

I personally review the route and explain the practical next steps. VOG Assist is an independent specialist service: Justis remains responsible for assessing and issuing the VOG.
