Order an extract from any German Commercial Register in just a few minutes
The German Commercial Register is a public register and company information is generally accessible to anyone. However, you first need to identify the register court responsible for the company. This is normally determined by the company’s registered office and applies to legal forms such as GmbH, KG, AG, OHG, e.K. and UG. The responsible register court is not always the court located closest to the company. In recent years, several local commercial registers have been consolidated, and responsibility for individual companies may have moved to another court.
What else should you know?
Basic information from the German Commercial Register can generally be viewed electronically. Depending on the type of document you need, fees may apply for official extracts, certified copies or other register documents.
If you cannot or do not want to deal directly with the responsible register court, some documents can also be requested remotely. However, direct applications may involve additional steps, payment instructions and processing time before the requested document is issued.
A simpler way to order the documents
Our online service can handle the search for the responsible register and obtain the required documents on your behalf. Depending on the document and availability, an electronic commercial register extract or other company records can often be provided shortly after the order is placed. We can also obtain shareholder lists and other available corporate documents.
How can you pay?
You can pay by credit card or other available payment methods. Payment can also be made with a card or account in a currency other than euros, subject to the conditions of your payment provider.
