When do you have priority? And how do you prove it?

When do you have priority?

You can read all information on the priority groups here.

How do you prove that you have priority?

In your application, you make a statement of honour. You don’t have to add the proof in your file.

The childcare facility may ask for proof of your knowledge of Dutch when you go to enroll.

Kind en Gezin may ask for proof if you are enrolled in a childcare facility (for example, about your work or education).

Attention! Fill in everything correctly and honestly. Does your application contain incorrect information? Then you may not be able to enroll at the childcare facility after all.

How do you prove that you speak enough Dutch?

• With a degree from a Dutch speaking school
• With proof of Dutch lessons you took. You passed at least level 2.4.
• With a Selor certificate.

You don't have to add proof to your file. However, the childcare facility may ask for the proof when you go to enroll.

Do you speak Dutch fluently but have no proof of your level?

• Contact Huis van het Nederlands and do a test.

What documents are valid to prove your priority?

The documents you need depend on why you get priority. Valid documents include:

• A copy of the employment contract or certificate from the employer (for at least 4/5ths work)
• An attestation from the institution of education
• An integration contract in case of an intensive integration programme
• A family composition certificate in the case of siblings
• A certificate from the foster care organisation
• A certificate from a doctor or psychologist in the case of health problems

Please note! Fill out everything correctly and honestly. Is there wrong information in your application? Then you may not be able to enroll in the childcare facility after all.
