Registering a BV or NV in formation

The process for the civil-law notary 

The civil-law notary arranges the registration of the BV (private limited company) or NV (public limited company) in formation in the KVK Business Register.  You will receive a letter by post with your KVK number. We will also send you an invoice for the registration fee. These will be sent to the BV or NV in formation's postal address. You can also order an extract from the Business Register. You use this as proof of registration. You can later view and change the data via My KVK.

KVK will notify the Netherlands Tax Administration 

You will receive a notification from the Tax Administration (Belastingdienst) by post within 2  weeks. If required, they also send you a VAT identification number (VAT ID) and a VAT tax number (omzetbelastingnummer). 

Apply for eHerkenning 

You file tax returns via Mijn Belastingdienst Zakelijk. To use this, you need to log in with eHerkenning. There is a fee to apply for an eHerkenning account. 

From BV or NV in formation to BV or NV

The civil-law notary will also arrange this for you. A BV or NV in formation does not have UBOs, but a BV or NV does. The civil-law notary registers these for you during the conversion. You do not have to pay the registration fee a second time. The VAT ID and VAT tax number remain the same.
