Company stamp maker for the Netherlands

A bedrijfsstempel is not required in the Netherlands and Dutch practice leans on digital signing instead, though a stamp carrying the KvK number is still common on paper forms.

Open the stamp maker

The Netherlands moved to digital early, and a Dutch company can execute almost everything without a stamp. What keeps the bedrijfsstempel in circulation is paper: customs paperwork, delivery notes, forms from bodies that have not digitised, and counterparties abroad who expect one.

What a company stamp in the Netherlands usually carries

The company name as registered with the Kamer van Koophandel.
The KvK number, eight digits, which is the identifier everyone looks up.
The legal form, so BV, NV, VOF or eenmanszaak.
The BTW-nummer on stamps used for invoicing.

Open the stamp maker with any of these

Every preview on this page carries a faint Estamplab watermark. Your own download does not: the editor renders your stamp again, clean, as a transparent PNG, an SVG or a PDF. See the full template library.

Why make it digitally

Export and customs paperwork is where a stamp is still routinely asked for.
Counterparties in Asia, the Gulf and Africa expect one even though Dutch law does not.
A registered address change means a new die in rubber and an edit here.

Questions

Is a bedrijfsstempel required in the Netherlands?

No. Dutch companies execute documents by signature, and increasingly by qualified electronic signature. The stamp survives on paper forms and in dealings with jurisdictions that expect one.

What number goes on it?

The KvK number is the one Dutch counterparties check. The BTW number belongs on anything used for invoicing, and many companies keep separate stamps for the two purposes.

Does it help with customs paperwork?

Often, yes. Export documentation and forms handled outside the Netherlands frequently expect a company stamp, which is the most common reason a Dutch company still keeps one.

Is there a free maker, or only samples?

It is a netherlands company stamp maker rather than a netherlands company stamp template you download and then fight with in a word processor. Build a netherlands company stamp online from a netherlands company stamp sample, or start empty and use it as a netherlands company stamp generator: every part of the netherlands company stamp design stays adjustable. The netherlands company stamp price covers the file only, $1.50 for a transparent netherlands company stamp png or $3.00 for every format.

What people call it in the Netherlands

rubber stamp the Netherlands: The physical die, cut from rubber by a shop. Design the artwork here, download the SVG, and take that to any stamp maker in the Netherlands: a vector file gives a sharper die than the photograph most people walk in with.
company stamp the Netherlands: The workhorse. In the Netherlands it carries the registered name and number and goes on most outgoing paperwork.
company seal the Netherlands: Reads as more formal than a stamp and is used where a document is being executed rather than merely marked. Common on certificates issued in the Netherlands.
stamp maker the Netherlands: The online version of walking into a stamp shop, minus the lead time. Works the same from a phone, which is how a lot of people in the Netherlands will reach it.
digital stamp: What you want if the paperwork is emailed rather than handed over. It also carries a date that fills itself in, which a rubber die in the Netherlands or anywhere else cannot.
round stamp: Reads as a seal rather than as a label, which is why it is the shape most organisations in the Netherlands choose for an identity mark.
rectangular stamp: The shape that fits beside a signature without covering anything, and the one most under-used in the Netherlands.
stamp templates: Two hundred and twenty-five designs, all editable. Pick the one closest to what is expected in the Netherlands and change the text.
free stamp maker: Free to design, free to preview at full quality with nothing over it. Only the download is charged, once, with no plan attached.
putting a stamp on a PDF: The mark is written into the page content rather than dropped on as an annotation, so the next person to open the file cannot drag it off.

This describes common commercial practice rather than giving legal advice, and practice changes. Where a specific document matters, check the requirement with the body receiving it. Only produce a mark your own organisation is entitled to use.
