Virtual address for the Chamber of Commerce

Want to apply for a virtual address for the CoC? Some entrepreneurs are looking for an alternative to their own address for registration with the Chamber of Commerce. A virtual address would seem like an attractive choice.

Nevertheless, it is important to take into account the requirements that the Chamber of Commerce places on your address. It has to be a physical address, where you also have the possibility to work. With a virtual address in the literal sense of the word, you unfortunately do not meet that requirement. However, there are options for not providing your (private) address and using an alternative.

What is a virtual address?

What is a virtual address? The explanation is possible in two ways:

  • Literally virtual address
    In a literal sense, a virtual address does not exist physically. It’s a digital address, like that of a website. You cannot use such a type of virtual address for the Chamber of Commerce because you do not meet the required conditions.
  • Alternative to your own address
    Some speak of a virtual address, but mean an alternative to their own address. You can use our Postbox and even a business address via PriOffice. You will have a different postal address and possibly another business address, so that you do not have to use your (private) address.

Tip! Are you hesitating between a Postbox or another business address via PriOffice? Think about the goal you have in mind. Do you only want to receive your (business) mail at a different address? A Postbox will be enough. Do you also want another business address, where you could possibly work? Then we can help you with that at PriOffice.

Alternative to virtual address for the CoC

Are you looking for an alternative to a virtual address for the CoC? With our Postbox, we ensure that you can register a postal address for in the commercial register. You can then use your postal address for business. This prevents you from continuing to receive your mail yourself. Instead, we can process the mail for you in the way you like.

Tip: for sole proprietorships, a business postal address is nowadays sufficient to have the private address protected at the Chamber of Commerce!

Questions and answers regarding the Postbox

What is addressee and can I specify more than one?2019-07-03T16:21:05+02:00

Mail in your Postbox is received under the name of the addressee. PriPost checks if the name belongs to the Postbox number. This is important to prevent mail from being assigned to the wrong person during the sorting process. You can add four additional addressees to your list of addressees (in total 5) free of charge. A small amount will be charged from the sixth. This way you can also let us process the mail of your family members by adding their names on the list of addressees. If you wish to receive mail anonymously, you can specify a fictional name. For business customers, therefore, multiple company names can be specified.

Right of withdrawal2022-09-28T00:43:38+02:00

It may happen that shortly after you have made the application for a Postbox, you change your mind. That is not a problem, because for consumers (not for companies) we use the legal cooling-off period of 14 days. In other words; a consumer has the right to cancel the application up to 14 days after the time of the application without giving any reason. To exercise this right, you can contact us via [email protected]. We will then credit any costs charged and refund the amount in your e-wallet via our service payment providor.

Is PriPost a service from PostNL?2019-05-01T12:49:18+02:00

No. PriPost is completely detached from PostNL or TNT.

Is a Postbox the same as a P.O. Box?2022-11-11T14:23:59+01:00

No, there are even considerable differences between them. The two biggest differences are the price and the way the mail is processed. With a P.O. Box you have to pick up the mail yourself and with our Postbox the mail is processed for you, by forwarding and / or scanning it. That not only saves a lot of money but also a lot of time. And our Postbox is therefore location independent, because regardless of where you live, work or stay, you can view your mail anytime and anywhere. You also never have to change your postal address again.

I did not receive an email with the confirmation. What now?2019-07-10T12:47:27+02:00

It may be that the email did not come through your spam filter. Look in your spambox/junkmail for verification. If you cannot find the email there, please contact us.

I cannot state a Postbox number by an authority. What are the consequences?2019-07-10T15:05:22+02:00

Although rare, in some cases it may not be possible (due to limitations in automation at the relevant authority) to provide additional address information, such as a Postbox number. The possibility for a second address line is missing. Alternatively, you can state the Postbox number in the name, for example: Jan Jansen (R320). In practice, we see that this creates little to no problems. If a box number is missing, PriPost will look at the company name (or addressee) and ensure that the mail ends up in the correct Postbox.

You can find more information about the different options for mentioning the box number on www.pripost.eu/boxvermelding. Attention! If the box number is not stated, additional processing costs per postal item will be charged. These costs are not calculated when you have informed us that mentioning is really not possible and we have been able to check this. At this moment we are aware of the relocation service of PostNL and Waternet. Have you found another authority where you encounter the same problem? Then we would like to hear this and after checking we can add this to the list.

I almost don’t receive any mail, why should I have a Postbox?2019-07-15T00:21:56+02:00

Just because there is less and fewer physical mail, it is advisable to outsource this professionally to an external party. This saves you money and time! A P.O. Box of PostNL quickly costs hundreds of euros a year, and there is still the time you spend every time you go to the PO Box to find out that there is no post at all… PriPost offers a modern and flexible solution where you keep the costs in hand, have a business look, and private and business are separated.

Do I need a customer number with PostNL?2019-05-01T12:49:18+02:00

No, PriPost is completely detached from PostNL.

Complaints procedure2022-11-17T11:52:26+01:00

It can always happen that something does not go quite as planned. We advise you to always make complaints known to us first by sending an email to [email protected] and explaining your situation. PriPost will then try to resolve the complaint as quickly as possible.

If the complaint cannot be resolved in mutual consultation, you can report the dispute to Stichting WebwinkelKeur (www.webwinkelkeur.nl), who will mediate free of charge.

If there is still no solution to the dispute, you as an Account holder have the option to have your complaint handled by Stichting GeschilOnline (www.geschilonline.com), the ruling is binding and both PriPost and the Account holder agree with this binding ruling. Submitting a dispute to this disputes committee involves costs that must be paid by the Account holder to the relevant committee.

From 15 February 2016, it’s also be possible for consumers in the EU to register complaints via the European Commission’s ODR platform. This ODR platform can be found on http://ec.europa.eu/odr.

Can I make changes to my application at a later date?2022-11-11T13:49:54+01:00

Yes, this is possible. You can change your settings at any time via the online customer portal. For example, changing the frequency of forwarding or adjusting your postal address is easily done. When you change the primary processing setting (forwarding, scanning or storing) this will take effect the next day and will only apply to new mail. For mail that had already been received, the old settings still apply. However, the name of the account holder (Postbox holder) and possibly the company name (in case of a business application) cannot be changed, because the agreement has been entered into with it.

Can I choose my Postbox number?2019-07-10T12:50:52+02:00

At the beginning of your application, choose a letter and a number from the list. These two together form your Postbox number.
