BV incorporation. Online, with a qualified civil-law notary.
From first click to Chamber of Commerce (KvK) registration in 4 to 7 working days. Fully online, ending with a genuine notarial deed from a civil-law notary we engage on your behalf.
- 4–7 working days
- 100% online
- eIDAS signature
- Wwft-compliant
Setting up a BV usually means office visits, paper powers of attorney and weeks of waiting. With Digital Notary you go through the whole process online. Executing the deed of incorporation is the notarial act, and it is performed by an external civil-law notary we engage for you.
You enter your details, verify your identity with a short video check, and sign digitally with an eIDAS signature that is legally equivalent to a handwritten one. The external notary then reviews the file and executes the deed.
What's included.
Notarial deed, fully digital
A designated external notary partner executes your deed of incorporation. No office visit, but a formal notarial act, performed by a sworn civil-law notary.
Smart articles of association from day 1
Your articles of association are prepared for growth by default: multiple share classes, pre-emption rights and an optional option pool. Adding co-founders or investors later works without incorporating again.
Wwft identification in minutes
Identity verification via Sumsub: a photo of your ID, a liveness check and automatic sanctions and PEP screening. Done in 5 to 10 minutes, on your phone.
One fixed point of contact
Throughout the process you have one contact person at Digital Notary. No emails getting lost between offices.
Step by step.

The notary executes the deed
The external notary partner reviews all documents and executes the deed of incorporation.
