The association register records registered associations. The suffix e. V. means eingetragener Verein and is not synonymous with recognised charitable tax status.
Meaning and context
An association does not become a commercial company simply because it undertakes organisational or economic activities. An association extract is identified by its association register number and competent court.
What the documents show
The extract may show the name, seat, board and representation rules. The constitution is a separate document. Whether board members must act together depends on the specific rule.
Research tip
If you also need evidence of charitable status, establish which tax document is required. An association register extract alone does not replace it. Distinguish association members from the board authorised to represent the association.
