Here is an example for the RIPE NCC itself, adding a reg-nr: attribute :

organisation:   ORG-RIEN1-RIPE
org-name:       Reseaux IP Europeens Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC)
country:        NL
org-type:       LIR
descr:          RIPE NCC Operations
address:        P.O. Box 10096
address:        1001 EB
address:        Amsterdam
address:        NETHERLANDS
reg-nr:         40539632         # added registration number
phone:          +31205354444
fax-no:         +31205354445
admin-c:        MENN1-RIPE
admin-c:        MDIR-RIPE
abuse-c:        ops4-ripe
mnt-ref:        RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT
mnt-ref:        RIPE-NCC-MNT

The country: code is NL, so the registry is the KvK : Go to 
https://www.kvk.nl/en/search/ and enter "40539632".
