English term or phrase: Commercial Register Number
I'm looking for the common abbreviation for "Commercial Register Number" to use it on my English invoices.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Selected answer:Commercial Register no.
Explanation:
As this is not an English term, and the exact-same institution does not exist with the same name, I'm not sure there even exists a "common" abbreviation for it.

In view of the fact that it is not a "common" term in EN, I'd recommend against abbreviating the main explanatory part of the name, but of course you can abbreviate the 'number' part!

Maybe you could enquire with other NL colleagues (or even in the NL > EN KudoZ pair?) to see what they usually use?

Explanation:
These I often see on UK invoices. Whether it's correct to use it on non-UK invoices I don't know. You might consider it.
