Frequently asked questions

The Transparency Register Service simply explained

The Transparency Register is a central database in Germany that records and makes accessible the beneficial owner(s) for all obligated companies. Beneficial owners are natural persons who have significant control over the company (e.g. more than 25% of the capital shares or voting rights) or who own it. The purpose of the register is to prevent or hinder illegal money laundering through transparency. Its legal basis is the Money Laundering Act (GWG).
German law requires that all companies that are entered in a German commercial register must enter their beneficial owners in the Transparency Register. This is regardless of industry, field or other criteria. For companies that were founded before 1 August 2021, the registration obligation now arises for the first time, depending on the legal form, as of 31 March 2022, for younger companies this has been in place since 1 September 2021.
The deadline for companies to comply with their obligation to submit their registration for the Transparency Register was 30.06.22, in order to avoid fines. If you have missed this deadline, you should submit your registration without delay. This is still possible and does not require any additional measures or applications. It is therefore recommended not to delay registration any longer and avoid impending fines of up to €100,000. FORIS will be glad to assist in processing your registration swiftly and ensure legal compliancy.
If you do not comply with your registration obligation, you can expect a severe fine. Depending on the case, this can be up to €100,000 or even up to €150,000 in the event of wilful disregard. The same apply if false data is submitted. In the event of inconsistencies in the data, you may receive a discrepancy notice, to which you must respond within a short period of time in order to avoid fines.
Please note that final (i.e. no longer contestable) fine decisions are also published on the Federal Office of Administration’s website (fine decisions). This naming and shaming can have a negative impact on your reputation.
Of course. You can set up an account yourself on the Transparency Register website and enter your data there. Please take great care to ensure that your data is correct.
Not quite! The Transparency Register requires that you ensure that your data in the database is up-to-date. Changes must be submitted without delay. Don't forget this if you want to avoid fines. In the past few weeks, we have observed that an increasing number of discrepancy notices have been sent. In such cases you, as a company, have only a short deadline to respond. We offer a tailor-made service package, which offers you the opportunity to work with us to ensure that your data is always up-to-date and we will work directly with you in the event of a discrepancy notice. In addition, we also submit changes at your request.
