Registering a bv or nv in formation

To register a bv or nv in formation, take the following steps.

1. Download the form

  • Form 7: Registration private company / public limited company in formation
  • Form 12: Registration other officials

If you are continuing a sole proprietorship into a limited company, you must also complete the following form:

  • Form 14: Change company and location data

2. Fill in the forms

Fill in the forms. The forms state who may sign the form and whether you need to fill in other forms.

3. Make an appointment at KVK to complete your registration

Please note that if the official is a legal entity (such as a private limited company or public limited company), you do not need to visit. You can then send the form. The form states who may sign the form and what supporting documents you may need to enclose.

  • You can make an appointment at any KVK office
  • Plan your appointment well in advance. There may be waiting times at busy KVK offices
  • Bring a  valid ID and the necessary forms and supporting documents 
  • You pay a one-time registration fee. Please note: you can only pay by scanning the QR code on the invoice with your mobile. 
  • You can order a KVK Business Register extract directly after you have registered. You can use this as proof of registration. Some banks and wholesalers ask for an extract.
  • You do not yet have to prepare  for registering UBOs (Ultimate Beneficial Owners, or ultimate stakeholders of an organisation). A bv or nv that is in formation does not have to register UBOs. A non-listed bv or nv does.
  • Log in with DigiD to make an appointment

Frequently asked questions

How quickly we process your change depends on how you communicate your change to us. We process a change you make online faster than a change by post. Check the current processing times on our website.

If the information you provide is not correct, we will contact you.

Are you submitting a change for a future date? Then you will only see the change in the Business Register on that date. For the UBO register, you cannot submit changes with an effective date in the future. 

We cannot provide information about the status between the time of receipt and processing.

After your change has been processed in the Business Register and/or UBO register, you will receive official confirmation by letter, or digitally via your Message Box account. Are you submitting the change online? Then you will also receive confirmation by email.
