You must draw up your application with the assistance of a notary.

• The notary will
  • advises you,
  • prepares the application in accordance with the legal requirements and
  • sends the application in electronic form and with an electronic signature to the electronic court and administrative mailbox of the competent registry court.
• The competent registry court will contact you and request an advance payment in the amount of the anticipated costs.
• If the registry court has any objections after checking your documents, it will contact you or your notary.
  • You can send in any further documents or evidence that may be required.
• If the court rejects the registration, you will receive a negative court decision.
• If there are no objections after your documents have been checked, the entry will be made in the register of cooperatives.
  • You will receive a notification of registration and a final invoice for costs.
• If there are any important changes, you will need to register these again for entry in the register of cooperatives via a notary, for example changes regarding
  • registered office or company name,
  • legal form or
  • authorized representatives.

- In principle, you do not have to observe any deadlines.
