Frequently asked questions about your account and access code

Access code

How do I request an access code?

Request your access code directly (in Dutch). You need an access code to order products from the Business Register and to file your business’s annual accounts online.

Tip: you do not need an access code to order a paper or digital certified KVK extract. You can then pay directly via iDEAL or by credit card.

Can I get more than 1 access code?

No, you can only have one access code.

Why can I not log in with my access code and password?

If you cannot log in with your access code and password:

log in to the Business Register page (in Dutch);
check that you have entered the access code correctly;
check that Caps Lock is not on when you type your password;
request a replacement password (in Dutch) and use it to log in.

If you get an error message or none of the above suggestions solve your problem, contact us.

How can I request an extra access code for my business?

You can request several access codes for your business. Request an additional access code (username) directly. At step 2 (‘Betalingskenmerken’ – payment features), you will see the message that there is already an access code for your business. You may ignore this message.

I received an email from KVK about keeping only one access code. Is this mail really from KVK?

Yes, this email is from KVK. In this article, we explain how to recognise a message from KVK.

I did not receive the password for my access code. What should I do?

Check if the email is in your junk or spam folder. If you did not receive the email, contact us. We will re-send your password.

You will receive your password via email immediately after requesting an access code. You will receive your access code in a separate email or by post. This may take a few days.

DigiD

I do not have a DigiD. How do I apply for one?

You can apply for a DigiD via www.digid.nl. You need to have a citizen service number (BSN) and the Dutch nationality, or that of another country inside the European Economic Area (EEA). Do you live outside the Netherlands? The Nederland Wereldwijd website explains how to apply for a DigiD abroad.

I cannot log in with my DigiD, now what?

If you cannot log in with DigiD, it could be because of:

Wrong username or password: check that you are using the correct details. Pay attention to uppercase and lowercase letters.
Your DigiD is not activated. First activate your DigiD with the activation code you received by letter in the mail.
Your DigiD is blocked. Wait until the block is lifted and try again (after 15 minutes).
Your DigiD has expired, because you have not used it for 3 years. Apply for a DigiD again.
