Registered Office in the Netherlands: Your Dutch Business Address

As the postal address, yes: the KVK describes such contracts as ones you can use as a postal address. As the visiting address, only if the business is actually carried on there, with the official present on a regular basis and access to a workstation where a significant part of the work is done. Occasional use does not count.

The postal address, yes. A legal person always records a visiting address too, even without an enterprise or an establishment (art. 15 Hrb 2008), and the KVK requires regular presence there. The KVK has not published its practice for a BV with nobody working in the Netherlands, so we state the rule and promise nothing more.

No. Moving the statutory seat to another municipality amends the articles, which takes a notarial deed in Dutch on pain of nullity (art. 2:234(1) BW); the notary passes the change to the KVK. Changing the visiting or postal address is a KVK filing, free of charge, made within one week of the change (art. 20(2) Hrw 2007).

No. Our address plus bookkeeping, annual accounts, tax returns or legal assistance for the same company is a trust service that needs a DNB licence (art. 1(1) Wtt 2018, limb b), and art. 3(4)(b) Wtt 2018 forbids activities aimed at both. We hold no such licence. A client takes our address or those services, never both.

The Wwft requires us to identify you and verify your identity, and to establish the UBO, the ownership structure, the purpose of the relationship and the signatory's authority (art. 3(2) Wwft). It forbids us to enter the relationship until that is done (art. 5(1) Wwft). The duty applies to every client of a domiciliation provider.

A company incorporated under Dutch law is always deemed established in the Netherlands for corporate tax (art. 2(5) Wet Vpb 1969) and for dividend tax (art. 1(3) Wet DB 1965). Where any body is actually established is judged on the facts (art. 4 AWR). An address neither creates nor removes that. This page gives no tax advice.

Three entries. The statutory seat is a municipality named in the articles (art. 2:177(1) BW), and it must lie in the Netherlands. The visiting address and the postal address are recorded in the Business Register (art. 11 and 14 Hrw 2007). We supply the addresses; the notary fixes the seat and changes it by deed.

The address must exist in the BAG and suit the building's designated use, and a visiting address is never a PO box. The official is present there on a regular basis, and the company proves its right to use the address. In a multi-company building, the lessor must itself be registered there with the letting activity.

A director files the change in My KVK with DigiD, attaching a document that proves the right to use the new address, dated on or before the date of the change. The change is free of charge, must be reported within one week (art. 20(2) Hrw 2007) and is processed in 3 working days.

Use form 14 by post: the signed form with a copy of the signatory's valid ID, the photograph made unrecognisable. The KVK processes a change by post in 7 working days. Whether a foreign ID copy and a signature made abroad need legalisation is not published, and we do not promise acceptance without it.

Only about the visiting address. The KVK passes a change of visiting address to the Belastingdienst, but a change of postal address the company must report to the Belastingdienst itself. The KVK passes an address change to no other organisation, so every other body hears about it from the company.

Search the Business Register free of charge by name, address or KVK number. In 2026 an online extract view costs EUR 2.95, and a certified extract EUR 9.60 digital or EUR 19.20 on paper. What is registered is what counts legally: an unreported move leaves the old address in force against the company.

The closest Dutch form is the BV, the besloten vennootschap, a private company with limited liability. A notary executes its deed of incorporation and registers it with the KVK, including its statutory seat and its two addresses. That statutory seat must lie in the Netherlands (art. 2:177(3) BW).

Yes, for a legal person with its seat in the Netherlands, whether or not it trades (art. 6(1) Hrw 2007). The registration always carries a postal address (art. 15 Hrb 2008). Registering a new company costs a one-off EUR 85.15 in 2026, the same for every legal form; changing an address later costs nothing.

That question is usually about a person, not a company. A person's address is recorded by the municipality in the BRP, a different register from the KVK's Business Register, and this service does not cover it. A company, by contrast, always records a postal address in the Business Register (art. 15 Hrb 2008).
