Why this error appears

Identifier scheme 0106 stands for the Dutch Chamber of Commerce register, and the network checks the format of the value against the scheme. Common causes: a KVK number with a branch suffix appended, spaces, or a VAT number pasted into the KVK field.

How to fix it

Scheme 0106 expects the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KVK) number, 8 digits, for example 12345678.
