FAQ

You should use the registration forms to register your business. Select Bedrijf (‘Business’), choose a legal form, and follow the steps. Complete the forms as fully as possible. Once you have done this, book an appointment to finalise your registration at one of our offices. You can register at any KVK office in the Netherlands.

You can deregister your business using an online form (in Dutch) on our website. In the online form, select 'uitschrijven' (deregister), then enter the company name or KVK number, and complete the steps. Submit the deregistration:

  • online: this is possible for a sole proprietorship, a legal entity still being set up, or a branch of a foreign company in the Netherlands
  • by post: for all other legal forms

When you stop your business, there are a number of things you need to arrange. You will find useful tips in the step-by-step plan for ending your business, and in the information about tax issues when ending a business (in Dutch).

Please note: Dissolving and deregistering the business may have an impact on, among other things, your business bank account, financing, insurance, pension fund, and municipal permits. For example, you will no longer be able to access your business bank account. Please check the websites of these organisations to find out what steps you must take before deregistering.

Are you planning to apply for financial support from your municipality? If so, it may be a condition that you are still listed in the Business Register. Check this before deregistering the company with KVK.

You must register your company within 1 week before or after the start of your business activities.

You can also visit our offices earlier to register your company. You can do this up to 3 months before your start date. To do this, make an appointment with one of our offices.

We will handle the actual registration in the week before the start date you provide. You do not need to visit a KVK office again for this. After registration, we will send you a written confirmation of your registration and an invoice for the registration fee by post.

You must report a change within 1 week. Has more than a week passed? In that case, you must still report your change. If you fail to do so, this will have consequences, for example, for the liability of your company. The change only takes effect once it has been entered in the Business Register. You cannot rely on it before then.

You can use the following documents as valid forms of ID:

  • Passport
  • Dutch driving licence or moped licence (category AM)
  • European ID card (ID card from an EEA country)
  • Dutch document for foreign nationals (residence permit, Foreign National ID of Type W or W2, formerly 'W-document', diplomatic visa)
  • Dutch foreign-national passport
  • Dutch refugee passport

Please note: the document you use as ID must be valid. The validity date appears on the ID.

Copy of ID for registration of a business or official

If you have to enclose a copy of your ID with a form submitted to KVK, you may use a sticker, marker, or other means to make your photo and nationality illegible, in the interests of privacy. Or you can use the KopieID app (in Dutch) from the national government. KVK does not need your photo or nationality to review your submission. You may not block out any other information. Driving licences do not indicate nationality.

Copy of UBO ID

To register UBOs in the UBO register, you must also enclose colour copies (front and back) of the IDs of the UBOs. You are not permitted to block out the nationality on the ID copies. You are permitted to block out the photo. Do not block out the document number of the passport, driving licence, or ID card! Print the copy on a sheet of A4 paper or scan the ID document in actual size.

You can report a change of address online.

  • Choose ‘Wijzigen’ (change, in Dutch)
  • Enter your business name or KVK number.
  • Select ‘Gegevens van de vestiging wijzigen' (Change business branch details)
  • Follow the steps and submit the details digitally or by post.
