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.

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.
