How do I register a new director who lives outside the Netherlands?

Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

Report the change to KVK, and include a copy of the new director's identity document legalised by a notary, consulate, embassy or the municipality where they live. Without that, the new official usually has to sign in person at a KVK office. Directors living outside the EU follow specific document rules, which we check before filing.
