Diploma requirements, registration in the trade register

You have to register your business in the trade register of the Chamber of Commerce. You will be asked for information on the legal form and the trading name of your company. Entries in the trade register are open to review by the public, meaning that both individuals and businesses can request information from the trade register.

Diploma
In most case you do not need a diploma to register your new business in the trade register. If you start in a profession where a diploma is required (for instance, a dentist) you will need a diploma.

Is your diploma from a country other than the Netherlands?
If you come from any of the countries listed below, you will need to obtain an apostil stamp. If you come from any other country, you will have to have your diploma legalized.
