Most changes can be made through our e-services. Regardless of what change you will make, it is good to remember that: 

• You must submit one application for each design you want to make a change to. 
• PRV charges a fee for certain changes.

Change of representative 

When you register a new representative, you must append an authorisation. The authorisation shows that the representative has a right to represent you as the holder. 

If you as the holder want to take away a representative from your design registration, you or your representative can do so.

Transfer design

You can transfer your design registration to somebody else. You send in an application and a transfer document. You can either do so through our e-service Design Transfer or via a paper form. If you use a representative, we need an authorisation for the representative.

The letter shall be signed by you or your representative. If you use a representative, we need an authorisation for the representative.
