Download: Form 32 Registration UBO for vof, cv, maatschap, EEIG, or rederij

Please note: when you fill in this English form digitally, the corresponding field in the Dutch form is filled in automatically. Sign, print, and send the completed Dutch form to KVK.

If the VOF (general partnership), CV (limited partnership), maatschap (professional partnership), European Economic Interest Grouping (EEIG), or rederij (shipping company) is already registered in the Business Register, you can register the UBOs online (only available in Dutch).

What is this form for?

On form 32, you fill in what interests a UBO has in the VOF, CV, maatschap, EEIG, or rederij. Under European legislation and the Business Register Act, a VOF, CV, maatschap, EEIG, or rederij. must register UBOs.

Ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs) are the ultimate owners of an organisation or persons who make the final decisions in an organisation. A UBO is always a natural person: a human being. Read how to determine who is the UBO of a VOF, CV, maatschap, EEIG, or rederij.

KVK will enter the information you provide on form 32 in the UBO register. This register helps to combat money laundering, fraud, and the financing of terrorism. 

Help with filling in

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

UBO legislation came into force on 27 September 2020. If a person already met the conditions to be a UBO of the VOF, CV, maatschap, EEIG, or rederij before that date, enter 27 September 2020 on form 32 as the date on which the person became the UBO.
