Message Box
Message Box is a secure e-mail system via which the Dutch government enables you to exchange messages with government organisations. Message Box is intended for new and existing businesses that are based in the European Union and want to offer their services in the Netherlands.
Via Message Box, you can complete such procedures of the Dutch government as permit applications, which are required to provide your services in the Netherlands. In addition, you can ask government agencies about how the rules are applied in the Netherlands.
Government agencies are required by law to deal with messages they receive through Message Box, provided these concern procedures falling under the Services Directive.
