Information from the Central Trade Register Application
If you need proof of your personal reliability in connection with the operation of a business, you can apply for information from the central trade register.
Information from the central trade register shows whether you have violated trade law regulations in the past.
The information also serves as proof of your personal reliability, for example if you wish to exercise a trade requiring a license (e.g. restaurant business, estate agent) or a trade requiring supervision (e.g. trade in used motor vehicles, travel agency).
Are recorded in the central trade register:
- Rejection of an application for a trade license, trade prohibitions, withdrawal of permits, concessions,
- waivers of admission to a trade,
- decisions imposing fines of more than EUR 200 in connection with the exercise of a trade and
- certain criminal convictions in connection with the exercise of a trade.
Note: The Central Trade Register does not contain the data of all tradespeople in Germany. This can be found in the trade register, which contains information on the business owner such as name, date of birth and address as well as on the business such as management, addresses and registered activity.
Who should I contact?
Responsibility lies with the municipality, the joint municipality and the city. In the case of natural persons, responsibility is based on the place of residence, in the case of legal entities on the registered office of the company (place of entry in the commercial register).
This procedure can also be handled by a "single point of contact". The "Single Point of Contact" is a special service offered by the municipalities and the state for service providers.
