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

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.
