What is an AC declaration?

An AC declaration is a free document which shows that your diploma allows you to practice your (regulated) profession in the Netherlands.

Include this declaration with your application for professional recognition. This can help you get permission in another EU country.

Please note:

  • An AC declaration only provides information about access to your profession in the Netherlands. It does not give permission to practice a regulated profession abroad.
  • The declaration can only be used for professions in the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland.
  • Your profession must be regulated in the country where you want to work.
  • The declaration is in English.
