Can you order a certificate of registration for all types of organisations?
A certificate of registration is only an available product on enterprises registered in the Register of Business Enterprises. If, for example, you have an association that is only registered in the Central Coordinating Register for Legal Entities, you must instead order a register transcript. This transcript contains more detailed information than a certificate of registration, and is also an identification towards banks, customers and suppliers.
A certificate of registration contains information about
- organisation number
- business name
- business address
- board members
- general manager
- signature and power of procuration
- share capital
- closure due to bankruptcy or dissolution
Certificate of registration in English
The certificate of registration does not contain information about the objectives as laid down in the articles of association. We can translate the objective into English. This may lead to longer processing time.
You can fill in this contact form if you wish the objective translated into English.
