Identification requirement

The Act on the Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Wwft) requires us to identify you before we start the work. We therefore ask you to demonstrate your identity in advance. Our advisors will then tell you how you can do this.

Are you a private individual?

Then we will establish your identity with a valid identification document, such as your passport or identity card.

Are you a Dutch company? 

Or a foreign company that is established in the Netherlands and registered with the Chamber of Commerce? Then we will use an extract from the register of the Chamber of Commerce. Alternatively, a deed from a Dutch notary can also serve.

Are you a foreign company that is not established in the Netherlands? 

Then we can establish your identity, among other things, with an extract from the official trade register of the country where the company has its statutory seat.

For a company, we also identify two types of persons:

• the representative of the company;
• the ultimate beneficial owners. These are the persons who directly or indirectly own more than 25 percent of the shares.

For these persons, we need to know their first names, surname, and date of birth.
