Business verification documents for EU companies

EU businesses usually pass verification with an official extract from their national company register, such as a KvK extract in the Netherlands, a Handelsregister extract in Germany, a Kbis in France or a KBO extract in Belgium. The legal name and address on the extract must match the portfolio exactly.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a translation?

Meta does not normally ask for one. A clear official extract is the main thing.

Our extract is older than a year. Does it matter?

Use a recent one if you can. Old addresses cause mismatches.

Can a freelancer verify without a company?

Use the documents for your registered business activity in your country, such as a tax registration in your own name.
