Document background
A Letter of Incumbency is a crucial corporate document in the Dutch legal system that provides formal verification of a company's officers and their authority to act on behalf of the organization. This document is particularly important in international business contexts where Dutch companies need to prove their officers' authority to foreign parties, financial institutions, or regulatory bodies. It typically includes detailed information about the company's current directors, officers, and authorized signatories, their appointment dates, and scope of authority. Under Dutch law, such letters often require notarial certification and must align with information registered in the Commercial Register (KVK). The document is commonly requested during major transactions, banking relationship establishments, or when dealing with foreign jurisdictions that require formal verification of corporate authority.
