Denied insurance due to criminal record

Do you not mention your criminal record with the insurance application and the insurer finds out? Then he can stop your insurance immediately. Also, it will be even more difficult to get insurance in the future. If you do not fill in the questions on the insurance application truthfully, it means you are committing insurance fraud. Many insurance companies will not accept you if you are registered as a fraudster. You are then listed in the database of the CIS Foundation, where your information is visible to all affiliated insurers and agents.

The insurer has no insight into your criminal record and therefore knows nothing about your criminal history beforehand. However, if they ask you about it when applying for insurance, you are required to answer honestly. Are you concealing information? Then you are committing insurance fraud. Once the insurance company finds out, your insurance will stop and you will lose the right to payment in the event of a claim or accident. You can weigh the consequences here: with a criminal record, there is still a chance that a regular insurance company will want to accept your application, depending on the offense on your criminal record. When you are registered for fraud, no regular insurance company will want to accept you and you will automatically end up with De Vereende. This comes with additional costs, such as a higher premium.

How long your criminal record remains registered depends on the type of offence. In general, a criminal record often expires after five years and you should be able to get insurance from a regular insurance company after five years. However, if your offence was committed less than 8 years ago, you should still report it to the insurance company. In this case, you could apply for a VOG (Certificate of Good Behaviour) to prove that your past does not constitute an objection to an insurance policy. The insurer can then decide whether they want to insure you.

Have you been denied insurance because of a criminal record? Through Alpina, you can obtain insurance from De Vereende. Insurance company De Vereende specializes in insuring special risks. Because of this, they have a broader acceptance policy and in principle accept anyone as a policyholder. Alpina then acts as an intermediary and insures you via the Vereende. This way you can still get insurance even if you have a criminal record.
