Form 14: Change the details of a business or establishment

You can submit changes via My KVK. The only exception is the transfer of an eenmanszaak or establishment, which cannot be done online. You will need this form for that.

Why use this form?

An establishment (vestiging) can be of an eenmanszaak, a partnership, or a legal entity. You can also use Form 14 to change the information for a legal entity that is not a business.

A partnership is a VOF, a CV, a rederij, or a maatschap.

A legal entity (rechtspersoon) is, for example, a BV, an NV, a vereniging, or a stichting.

You can change or submit the following information:

• Trade name. Report a name change to the Netherlands Tax Administration
• Activities, services, and products
• Visiting and postal address. Also report a change of postal address to the Tax Administration
• Internet address (url, website)
• Telephone number, email address, and Message Box name
• Number of employed persons (people who work in the company) 
• Terminating or transferring an eenmanszaak or establishment

To change the details of a partnership or legal entity, use form 15.

Do you want to transfer or end a partnership or legal entity? For a partnership, you can do this using form 17. For a legal entity, you can do this using form 17a.

Dates

The dates you enter on this form may be in the future. KVK will ensure that they are visible in the Business Register from that moment on.

Address

The following rules apply to addresses entered on form 14: 

• The address must be listed in the Basic Register of Addresses and Buildings (BAG).
• A residential address must be accurate in the Basic Register of Persons(BRP) maintained by Dutch municipalities.

Use the BAG Viewer to check whether the address of the company or legal person is correct in the BAG. This includes the street name, house number, addition (such as 24a or 24b), or designated use (such as retail premises). If something is incorrect, you can report the error on the BAG Viewer website.

The Business Register is linked to the Personal Records Database (BRP) (in Dutch) of the Dutch municipalities. If your residential address is not listed in the BRP or is incorrect, you must first have it corrected by your municipality. Otherwise, KVK cannot register the change of details in the Business Register.

Only send this form to KVK once the correct details are listed in the BAG and BRP.

What documents do you need to send?

To report changes, send this form 14, completed and signed, to KVK. Check which documents you need to send to KVK. The questions below will help you with this.

Has a civil-law notary signed this form?

If the civil-law notary sends the documents to KVK, you do not need to do anything.

Do you have an appointment with KVK because of another form?

Then bring all forms and documents with you to your appointment, even if you could send them by post. 

What do you always need to send?

• Form 14
• A copy of a valid ID of the person who signed Form 14. The photograph must be made unrecognisable.

Is your visiting- or postal address different from the home address of an owner or official?

Then send proof that you are allowed to use the visiting and mailing address you provided for your business or company. Also report a change of postal address to the Netherlands Tax Administration.

Has a company or business been transferred?

The new owner must report this to KVK for the Business Register. The new owner or officer of the new owner must bring this form or send it when registering the company or business with KVK. This must be the original form (no copy or scan). 
They must also enclose a copy of a valid ID of the person who signed this form. For more information, see taking over or continuing a company.
