Step 1 of 5

Does your organisation have to report UBOs?

Are you preparing a UBO report for more than 1 organisation? Register UBOs for each KVK number that has one of the legal structures mentioned.

Religious societies

Certain organisations with 'kerkgenootschap' (religious scoiety) as their legal structure also have to register UBOs. These societies will receive a letter from KVK. Religious societies only have to register UBOs if: 

  • registration in the Business Register is required for the organisation, and
  • there is no Dutch umbrella organisation (no higher level) that supersedes your organisation  

To register UBOs for religious societies, fill in form 34 (only available in Dutch). Send it to KVK Amsterdam, Postbus 2852, 1000 CW Amsterdam.

Are you not sure whether or not your organisation has to register UBOs? Call KVK on 088 585 15 85. We can help you.

These legal structures do not have to register UBOs

  • sole poprietorships / sole traders (eenmanszaken)
