As a client of a notary office in the Netherlands, you may be asked to provide certain information during the client due diligence (CDD) process. This process is mandatory by law to prevent financial crimes such as money laundering and terrorism financing.

​

For natural persons, you may be asked to provide your full name, date of birth, address, and identification document such as a passport or driver's license. For legal entities, you may be asked to provide information about the company structure, shareholders, beneficial owners, and proof of registration. If money is being transferred on the notary escrow account, you can also be asked to provide for a source of the funds used.

 

By providing this information, you can help notaries comply with legal requirements and ensure a seamless and compliant experience.
