SCAM WARNING: NOTRS Took My Money, Delivered Nothing, and Refuses to Refund
I’m an expat in Germany who paid NOTRS nearly €1,870 to set up a BV and holding company in the Netherlands. Their polished website and promises of a 15-day setup convinced me—but it was all lies.
After paying, I heard nothing for 10+ days and had to chase them repeatedly. They later said the 15-day clock starts only when the notary “accepts” documents—something never mentioned before payment.
After 45 days, they claimed I wasn’t registered at my address—despite submitting these documents proving otherwise:
1. Passport
2. German Residence Card
3. Meldebescheinigung (city registration)
4. Dutch BRP extract
5. Contract with Stadtwerk (energy provider)
6. Rental contract with my name and address
7. Phone bill
8. Salary slips
9. Car insurance payment receipts
10. Car payment receipts
11. Bank statement
They refused all but a utility bill—which I don’t have separately because utilities are included in my rent, a common arrangement in Germany. I offered multiple alternatives; they rejected every one without explanation.
When I asked to switch notaries, they refused, saying NOTRS already paid the current one—this is NOT my problem.
Now, after two months of delays, no draft deed, no company registration, and no service, they want to keep 75% of my money (€1,400) for doing nothing.
They also refused to connect me directly to the notary. When I finally got a link — dehengcc.com — it seemed fake: calls during office hours are met with recoded messages.
Research shows NOTRS may be linked to these other sites, all with similar complaints:

notarielediensten.nl
I was patient and polite for weeks. They have zero service attitude, no flexibility, and no interest in solving problems. This company is a scam preying on internationals. AVOID THEM.
