Cancelling an operator number

The operator number is valid for 1 year. You can cancel your operator number with us before it expires. You will not receive a refund.

How to cancel your operator number

Sign in with DigiD using the ‘Cancel operator number’ button. If the operator number is registered in your company's name, sign in with eHerkenning first. Please have your business registration number ready. You can find it on the excerpt or website of the Chamber of Commerce (KvK). A business registration number is not mandatory if you don't have one.
