How the remote route works
- The file: passports, proof of address, the ownership chart for the ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) register, and the company basics — name, activity, share capital (from €0.01).
- The notary’s checks: identity verification by video with document authentication, UBO analysis and source-of-context questions — the quality gate that gives the Dutch register its reputation.
- The deed: executed digitally in the notary’s presence; for some setups a notarised power of attorney with apostille carries the signature instead — both routes are fully remote.
- The filings: the notary registers the BV at the Dutch business register (KVK, €85.15) and files the UBO registration; the tax numbers follow automatically.
The timeline that holds
Two to three weeks from complete documents to a live company — banking runs in parallel on the prepared file: the onboarding playbook. The all-in package covers advice, deed, filings and the government login (eHerkenning); the full-service picture: BV incorporation.
What the notary is really for
Dutch incorporation quality is the feature: every BV passes a legal professional who verified the founders, structured the statutes and stands behind the deed — the reason Dutch entities onboard smoothly at banks and counterparties worldwide.
After the deed
Registered office, bookkeeping and the filings calendar plug in as a package: the services stack and the secretarial layer. Country-specific walkthroughs run from Saudi Arabia to Nigeria.
