Use Case -- Logistics & Delivery

Look Up Dutch Business Addresses by Postal Code

Find registered business addresses by postal code, city, or company name. Verified address data from the Dutch Chamber of Commerce for logistics, delivery, and property platforms.

Incomplete or wrong business addresses cause costly errors

For logistics companies, delivery services, and property platforms, accurate business addresses are essential. But Dutch business addresses are not always straightforward. Companies may operate from a different address than their registered one. Postal codes follow a specific format (four digits plus two letters). And many businesses share addresses in office buildings or business parks.

Generic address databases do not distinguish between residential and business addresses, and they cannot tell you which company operates at a given location. When you need to deliver to or verify a business address in the Netherlands, you need data from the official KVK registry.

International platforms face an additional challenge: Dutch address formatting. Street names can be long, house numbers may include letter suffixes, and postal code formats differ from most other countries. Getting this wrong means failed deliveries, returned mail, and frustrated customers.

Search businesses by postal code, city, or address

The KVKBase API lets you search for Dutch businesses by postal code, city, street name, or any combination. Every result returns the company's registered address along with its full business profile -- name, KVK number, legal form, and industry codes.

You can also look up a specific company by KVK number to get its registered address, or search by company name combined with a city to find businesses in a specific area.
