Become a purveyor to the royal household

How does it work?

Only the king can award the designation of Purveyor to the Royal Household. You can receive this designation on a special anniversary of your company (100, 125, 150 years, etc.). Sometimes you can also receive it for a very special event in the company. You may use the title of Purveyor to the Royal Household for a maximum of 25 years. After that, you can apply for an extension.

On the website of the Royal House, you can read about the requirements you must meet to obtain the designation of Purveyor to the Royal Household.

What should I do?

• Submit an application to the mayor of the municipality.
• Do this in the municipality where your company is located.
• Explain clearly why your company deserves the designation of Purveyor to the Royal Household.
• Submit your application at least nine months in advance.

You will be notified automatically if you are awarded the designation of Purveyor to the Royal Household. In most cases, you will receive the accompanying certificate from the King's Commissioner or the mayor.

What do I need?

• proof of the date your company was established
• balance sheet for the past five years
• description of financial expectations for the coming years
