Attachment requirements for clubs or associations
Last updated: 13 January 2026.
When registering an association or a club for the first time, a certain amount of attachments is required.
This is because we need to make sure that the information reported to us is correct, so that every public and private actor using the information can be sure that the information has been checked and approved.
Documents you need to attach when registering an association or a club
- memorandum of association. If you do not have the memorandum of association, you may include the minutes from the annual meeting or other evidence confirming that the association exists.
- articles of association
You must document the election of the board in the form by stating that:
- the board has been validly elected by the association’s annual meeting or another authorised body
- there is a set of minutes showing the most recently elected board, and it matches the information you are submitting
The Brønnøysund Register Centre may carry out random checks and ask you to provide the minutes, either while you are completing the form or at a later date.
If the association is going to have an auditor or an accountant, they have to confirm in the Coordinated register notification that they take on the assignment.
Remember to sign the form.
