Registering a limited partnership (cv)

Step 1: prepare your registration

Fill in the digital registration form as completely as possible. This allows us to provide you with the best possible service when you visit an office to complete your registration. Make an appointment at one of the offices of the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce KVK (see step 2).

Do not use any punctuation marks in the field "Uw naam" (Your name): due to a technical problem, the email will then not be sent. The name can be changed by KVK upon registration.

You must also register the UBOs of your new organisation at the counter

UBOs (ultimate beneficial owners) are the ultimate beneficial owners of an organisation. Here you find information about how to determine who the UBOs of your organisation are and which documents you need in order to register UBOs.

Complete form 32 (registering UBOs for a general partnership, limited partnership, partnership, EEIG, or shipping company) beforehand and bring it with you to your appointment.

Please note: you sign the document at the counter.

Step 2: make an appointment

Have you filled in the registration forms completely? After filling in your details, you must personally visit KVK to finalise your registration. This is only possible by appointment. You can register at any office.

During your appointment, a KVK employee will check your identification and check whether you meet the registration criteria.

Costs for registration

• You pay a one-off registration fee.
