The Certificate of Incumbency and Authority is a crucial document in Dutch corporate governance that provides formal verification of a company's officers and their authority to act on behalf of the organization. This certificate is commonly required in international business transactions, banking relationships, and regulatory compliance matters. It serves as official confirmation of who can legally bind the company and includes detailed information about the officers' positions, appointment dates, and scope of authority. Under Dutch law, the document must comply with requirements set forth in the Dutch Civil Code and Commercial Register regulations. The certificate is particularly important when companies engage in cross-border transactions or when establishing new business relationships where formal verification of corporate authority is necessary. It helps prevent unauthorized actions and provides security to third parties dealing with the company by clearly establishing the identity and powers of its representatives.
