How to fill in KVK Forms 14 / 16
Check whether you can do it online
Most business changes can be made online in My KVK. You need Form 14 for changes such as transferring an eenmanszaak or establishment, which cannot be done online.
Pick the right form
Use Form 14 for business or establishment details (address, activities, trade names, transfer or end). Use Form 16 for changes to officials: partners, sole shareholders, directors, supervisory directors and authorised persons.
Fill in the English form on screen
Download the form from its KVK page and complete it. The attached Dutch version fills in automatically. Translate any free-text answers into Dutch.
Print and sign the Dutch version
Print the whole set and sign the Dutch version by hand.
Send it to KVK with ID
Post it with a copy of the signer's valid ID (photo made unrecognisable), or bring it to an appointment if you already have one. For a transfer, the new owner must provide the original form, not a copy or scan.

KVK Forms 14 / 16: frequently asked questions
Can I make the change online instead?
Usually yes. Most changes can be made in My KVK. Transferring an eenmanszaak or establishment is one change that still needs Form 14.
Can I sign KVK Forms 14 and 16 electronically?
No. KVK says you cannot send these forms digitally. Print them and sign the Dutch version by hand.
Where do I send Form 14 or Form 16?
By post to KVK, using the address on KVK's postal addresses page, or bring it to an appointment you already have.
Is there a fee?
The KVK pages for these forms do not mention a fee. A takeover that creates a new registration is charged the normal registration fee.
