Articles of Registration are required when establishing any legal entity in the Netherlands, serving as the foundational document that defines the company's legal structure and operational framework. This document must be prepared in Dutch and executed before a civil law notary, containing mandatory elements prescribed by Dutch corporate law. The Articles of Registration include crucial information about the company's identity, purpose, capital structure, management organization, and shareholder rights. They are essential for registration with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK) and provide the legal basis for corporate governance. The document needs to comply with Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code and may require amendments as the company evolves or when regulatory requirements change.
