Tasks and Organisation
The tasks of the Chancellery of the Netherlands Orders arise directly from the tasks of the Chancellor. These tasks require a staff of 22 full-time employees.

The organisation consists of:

  • The department Verification and Advice, which prepares the advice of the Civil Honours Advisory Commission with respect to nominations for an honour that have been submitted.
  • The department Facility Affairs, whose tasks include registration and archiving with respect to honours
  • The public relations official is directly under the director of the Chancellery.

The Chancellery of the Netherlands Orders also provides support for the Advisory Commission of the Military William Order.
