Appointment: registering a VvE, stichting, or association

Yes, you can. Anyone with a DigiD can make an appointment for themselves or a friend, family member, or client to register a new official for a company. Do keep in mind the following:

• The new official must identify themself at a KVK office.
• They must bring a fully completed form signed by an already registered official.
• They  must bring a copy of that official's identification.

A newly established VvE is usually registered for you by a civil-law notary.

Is your VvE not yet registered? You can read how to do this in the article Registering an owners’ association.

Association with full legal capacity

You must visit a notary (in Dutch) to set up a vereniging (association) with full legal capacity. Once it has been set up, the notary usually registers it with the Business Register.

Association with limited legal capacity

You do not have to visit a notary to set up an association with limited legal capacity. It is not compulsory to register such an association with KVK. However, registration is still advisable. Directors are jointly and severally liable, but can limit their liability by registering in the Business Register. After registration, they are liable only if creditors demonstrate that the association has not fulfilled its obligations.

Documents for registering an association with limited legal capacity

Do you want to register an association in the Business Register? You should collect the following documents for an association with limited legal capacity and send them to the KVK's postal address.

• form 5 (registering a foundation or association);
• form 22 (registering an executive staff member of a foundation or association);
• a copy of a valid form of identification for each director;
• a written copy of the memorandum and articles of association, certified by the board of management, if available (every page initialled and the last page signed by the directors).
