Invoices and payments
We are frequently asked these questions.
Invoice from KVK
Use 'stel een vraag online' (ask a question online, in Dutch) to request a copy of an invoice, quoting the invoice number and entering your business details. A pdf copy of the invoice will be sent to the email address you have specified.
Do you already receive the invoices by email? Then you can use the 'go to payment portal' button to view the outstanding invoices directly. Please note that this contains the invoices from 31 May 2025 and after.
If you pay for your order directly with iDEAL or by credit card, it is anonymous and we cannot send you a copy of the invoice. You can use the bank or credit card statement as proof of payment. The product is exempt from (Belastingdienst, in Dutch).
Yes, you can.

Log with your access code and click 'Digitale factuur aanvragen’ (request digital invoice).
Please note: you do not receive invoices if your payment method is 'Vooraf betalen' (pay in advance).
Do you receive invoices for other products or services by post?
Apply for an access code. Did you receive it? Then log with your access code and click 'Digitale factuur aanvragen’ (request digital invoice).

Do you receive invoices by email? Then you can use the 'go to payment portal' button to view the outstanding invoices directly. Please note: you will only see invoices from 31 May 2025 onwards.
Do you still receive invoices by post? Then you can request digital invoices via your (in Dutch). You will receive the next invoice by email containing a button to the payment portal. Or contact us.
You have 28 days to pay our invoices. This is in accordance with article 3:4 of the Financial Commercial Register Decree 2014.
Reminder
If we have not received your payment after 28 days, we will send you a payment reminder. You will then have another 14 days to pay the invoice.
Payment demand
Have we still not received your payment? In that case, you will receive a payment demand. This is called an aanmaning in Dutch. Your invoice total will be increased by €9 to cover costs, in accordance with Article 4.113 of the AWB. You then have another 14 days to pay the invoice.
Claim
If you still do not pay after the demand, we will give the claim to debt collection agency Syncasso. You must pay all costs for the measures needed to get the amount paid.
Automatic direct debit
We will attempt to collect the amount automatically 1 time. Does that not work? Then the above steps will follow.
You will find a list of your orders under My account:
- log in to My Business Register with your access code and password;
- click on the link for Orders;
- you will see an overview of your online orders. You can filter the list by period;
- you can also download it.
Does your organisation have several login codes? You will only be able to use the login code for the main user or administrator to get the overview for all login codes.
If you do not know which code is the access code for the main user or administrator, you should contact us.
No, you will not receive an invoice for orders of extracts that you pay directly with iDEAL or credit card. Your order for a Business Register extract is anonymous, so we cannot issue and invoice.
Proof of payment
Use the payment details on your bank or credit card statement as proof of payment. You do not pay VAT on KVK's products or services.
Access code
Would you like to receive an invoice for future purchases? Request a free access code and choose direct debit (automatische incasso). You will then receive a monthly invoice.
Go to Invoices from KVK to see examples of the invoices, payment reminders, and demands you might receive from us. Find out which details are shown on our invoices.
Read all the information (in Dutch) about the bank details (bank account, bank name, IBAN) of the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce KVK and look at examples of the invoices we send out.
If there has been a double payment, the excess amount will be refunded.
Automatic direct debit
Was your invoice automatically debited from your account? And did you also pay it manually? We will refund this at the end of the statutory refund period. This is 56 days from the collection date.
No direct debit
If it is not a direct debit, but you have transferred the invoice to us twice? Then you will receive the amount back in your account after 1 to 2 weeks.
Request an earlier refund
Do you want the amount to be refunded sooner? Please contact your bank.
Yes, your unused KVK credit can be refunded. KVK will eventually discontinue credits as a payment method. So we recommend taking this into account when you purchase credit.
Syncasso
You have received a letter from Syncasso because an invoice has not been paid. If you do not pay an invoice, we will first send you a reminder, and then a demand letter. We then ask the debt collection agency to help us recover the debt.
Contact
Do you have any questions about this invoice? Read the instructions in the letter, email, or text message you received. Or contact Syncasso directly with your questions.
Login to Syncasso's 'Mijn ' (in Dutch) to upload your proof of payment. The letter, email, or text message you have received comes with instructions on how to do this. If you have any questions, contact Syncasso. They will handle your questions.
Changing invoice details
Do you already receive your invoices by email? Then go to the payment portal via the link in the email. Here you can remove the previous authorisation and issue a new authorisation to pay new outstanding invoices.
Do you have an access code for viewing data online?
Then log in with the access code and provide the new bank account number.
Do you receive invoices by post and do you not have an access code?
Send an email to debiteuren@kvk.nl and include:
- your KVK registration number
- your old IBAN
- your new IBAN

Go to 'stel een vraag online' (ask a question online, in Dutch). Choose the subject 'Bestellingen en facturen' (Orders and payments). Enter the details of your business and the names of the previous contact person and the new contact person.
How you change the invoice address depends on how you receive your invoices.
Invoices by post
Your invoice address is always the registered office or postal address of your business or organisation, as shown in the Business Register. We usually change the invoice address automatically if you notify us that the address of your business or organisation has changed. You can do this via My KVK or via Report a change.
Has the invoice address not been updated by us? Fill in the enquiry form on our website: 'stel een vraag online' (ask a question online, in Dutch). Select ‘Bestellingen en facturen’ (Orders and invoices). Enter the new and old billing address.
Digital invoices
Do you receive your invoices digitally and has your email address changed? From the email you received with your invoice, go to the payment portal. Under contact details, you can change the email address. You will receive a confirmation of this on your old email address.
