CInummer

The CInummer is a unique identification number used in the Netherlands for individuals involved in business transactions. It is primarily associated with the Chamber of Commerce (Kamer van Koophandel) and is issued to sole proprietors, partnerships, and other business entities. The CInummer serves to distinguish different businesses for administrative and commercial purposes. It is distinct from the social security number (Burgerservicenummer or BSN), which is used for personal identification within the Dutch social security system. Businesses registered with the Chamber of Commerce receive a CInummer, which is then used on invoices, contracts, and other official business documents. This number facilitates transparency and accountability in the business world. The CInummer ensures that each business entity has a clear and unambiguous identifier, which is crucial for legal and financial operations within the Netherlands. It is not a personal identification number but rather a designation for a registered business.
