Document background
The Certificate of Registration and Certificate of Incorporation is a fundamental legal document issued by the German Commercial Register (Handelsregister) that establishes a company's legal existence and status under German law. This document is required when establishing a new company, opening business bank accounts, entering into contracts, dealing with government authorities, and conducting various business transactions. It contains crucial information about the company's legal structure, management, and capital, serving as official proof of registration for third parties. The certificate is particularly important in the German business environment, where formal documentation of company status is essential for legal and commercial interactions.
