Does the new official have to visit KVK?
In most cases, the new official must visit KVK in person, bringing the completed form and a valid proof of identity. Only associations and foundations without commercial activities, and owners' associations can send the form by post.
You have to make an appointment to visit KVK. When you visit, a member of staff will check your proof of identity and whether you satisfy the conditions for registration. Make an appointment online.
