Inspect the register of associations

The register of associations is public and accessible to everyone. By inspecting the register, it is possible, for example, to determine who is allowed to act for the respective association or what purpose the association has.

The register of associations provides information on facts and legal relationships that are important for legal transactions in connection with associations registered there. The register contains, for example, the names of persons who are authorised to represent an association in business transactions.
