The Schengen Information System (SIS II) is an information system to share information for law enforcement, border and migration management. It contains alerts on wanted or missing persons and objects such as vehicles, firearms, and identification documents that have been lost or stolen or may have been used to carry out a crime. You can check whether there exists an alert concerning you in SIS II.
Alerts
The Royal Netherlands Marechaussee, or other competent national authorities, may issue an ‘alert’ on persons or objects. Reasons for issuing an alert are:
- to refuse entry to persons who do not have the right to enter or stay in the Schengen territory;
- to find and detain a person for whom a European Arrest Warrant has been issued;
- to assist in locating individuals as requested by judicial or law enforcement authorities;
- to find and protect a missing person;
- to find stolen or lost property.
Right of access, correction or deletion
If you want to know whether there exists an alert concerning you in the Schengen Information System (SIS II), you can submit a request for access in any of the Schengen countries. Furthermore, you can submit a request for correction or for deletion of the alert if in your opinion the data are incorrect or the alert should not have been recorded in SIS II. If you have a Schengen entry ban other than from the Netherlands and want to have it lifted or removed, we kindly advise you to contact the competent authorities of the Schengen member state that has issued that ban.
