Business registrationYou would like to register a business in Braunschweig. Your place of residence is Hanover. You must therefore state the location of your future business, i.e. Braunschweig.

Apply for a building permitYou would like to build a house in Wunstorf and therefore apply for a building permit. Her place of residence is currently Hanover. You must indicate the place where the house is to be built. In this case it is Wunstorf.

Inspect the register of associations

Read aloud

If you are looking for information about registered associations (e.V.), you can view the registers of associations online via the Joint Register Portal of the federal states.

Among other things, the registers of associations provide information about the name, registered office of the association you are looking for and the persons who can represent the association.

You can view the registers of associations free of charge via the Common Register Portal. You can also download a current or chronological printout free of charge.

Registers of associations that cannot be accessed via the Common Register Portal can only be viewed free of charge at the competent local court or register court. If you wish, you can also obtain a printout or official printout from the register of associations there for a fee.
