- completed application form
- copy of the identity card or comparable identity documents
- for proof of the corporate legal form
- If the location of your company is in Germany, you will need:
- for registered companies: an excerpt of the Commercial Register (Handelsregisterauszug) and the register of partnerships
- if applicable a copy of the shareholders agreement (e.g. for a company constituted under civil law, (GbR)).
- If your company is located abroad, you will need documents from the country where it is located which prove its legal form.
- declaration from the client on your personal reliability, your qualification and your orderly financial circumstances
In the case of legal entities (GmbH, corporate companies (limited liability), AG, registered cooperatives) the application form only has to be completed by the legal entity itself. All personal documents have to be submitted for all natural persons authorised to manage the company (e.g. personal documents). For the legal person, you also require an extract from the Central Trade Register.
In the case of partnerships, which as such are not capable of holding a licence (GbR, KG, OHG, PartG, GmbH & Co. KG), each of the managing partners requires the licence. I.e. an application form and all personal documents are required for each person.
