The Company Registration Certificate (Handelsregisterauszug) is a fundamental corporate document in the German legal system, issued and maintained by the local commercial register courts (Amtsgericht - Registergericht). This document is essential for proving a company's legal existence and current status in Germany. It is commonly required when opening bank accounts, entering into significant contracts, participating in public tenders, or conducting real estate transactions. The certificate includes vital information such as the company's legal form, registered office, corporate purpose, authorized representatives, and share capital. It serves as an official verification tool for business partners, banks, and authorities to confirm a company's legal status and representation rights. The document is particularly important in the German business environment, where up-to-date commercial register information is crucial for legal and business transactions.
