TRANSPARENCY REGISTER
The Transparency Register in Germany serves to disclose the beneficial owners of companies, foundations and other legal entities. Since 2021, all companies must actively register their beneficial owners in the Transparency Register, as automatic notifications from other registers no longer occur.
The "beneficial owner" is typically the natural person who directly or indirectly holds more than 25% of the capital shares or voting rights of a company, or excercises significant influence in another way. Companies must identify this person and register their data in the transparency register.
As a courier, we handle the mandatory initial registration or changes to entries in the transparency register for you, e.g. registration of new shareholders.
