What is a childcare certificate, and how does it work in practice?

Everyone who applies for assisted reproduction must present a child care certificate from July 1, 2020. This is a certificate from the police stating whether the applicant has previously been charged or convicted of a crime, such as sexual crimes, drug crimes, and violent and robbery crimes.

A remark on the certificate does not immediately mean a rejection of the application. The childcare certificate becomes part of the overall suitability assessment the doctor makes to determine whether everything is in place to ensure that the child will have a safe environment to grow up in.
