If a director, partner, authorised representative, or another official from your business or organisation changes, you must notify KVK.
You can register or deregister an official or change an official's details by filling in the online change (in Dutch). Or by downloading a PDF form in English:
- 10: Partner (vennoot)
- 10a: Partner (maat)
- 11: Official of a legal entity
- 12: Other officials
- 13: Authorised representative business agent
- 16: Change an official's details
- 19: Holders of partly paid shares
- 21: Director for a European Economic Interest Group
- 22: Executive staff member of a foundation or association without a company
- 26: Official of a legal entity under public law
- 29: Officials of other legal entities under private law
You can also use My KVK to deregister an official. You need a DigiD login for this.
Sign the changes at a KVK office
To sign the change, the new official usually has to visit KVK with a printout of the data entered online, and with a valid proof of identity.
In these cases, the new official does not need to visit KVK in person
The new official may sign the form online if they:
- work for a vereniging (association) or stichting (foundation) without a company, or for a VvE
- are a foreign official
- are a legal entity (BV, NV, stichting, vereniging)
- are a liquidator
- are a sole shareholder
- are a supervisory director
Please note: deregistering an official has consequences
It may, for example, have consequences for permits from the municipality, insurance policies, or the bank account of your business or organisation. Make sure you check this before deregistering the official with KVK.
Frequently asked questions
It is free to submit a change. Are you registering a new business, a continuation, an acquisition, a merger, or a demerger? And will you get a new KVK number? Then you must pay a registration fee.
New KVK extract
After the change is made, you can order a KVK Business Register Extract. There is a fee for this.
How quickly we process your change or deregistration depends on how you communicate it to us: online or by post. Check the current processing times on our website. Follow the progress of your online change or deregistration in My KVK.
The change or deregistration is not correct
If the information you provide is not correct, we will contact you.
Changes or deregistration for a date in the future
Are you submitting a change or deregistration for a future date? Then you will only see it in the Business Register on that date. For the UBO register, you cannot submit changes with an effective date in the future.Â
Confirmation by letter
You usually receive a confirmation letter when all changes have been processed.
Digital confirmation
Do you have a Message for businesses? Then you will receive the letter from the Business Register there.
Do you have a Message Box (for private individuals)? Then you will receive the letter from the UBO register there.
This is only the letter about your personal UBO registration, change, or deregistration.
Confirmation by email
Do you make the change online? Then you will also receive a confirmation via email.
