Document background
The Company Registration Certificate (Firmenbuchauszug) is a fundamental document in Austrian corporate law that provides official verification of a company's legal status and registration details. It is issued by the Commercial Court and serves as an authoritative source of information about registered business entities in Austria. This document is typically required for various business transactions, including opening bank accounts, participating in public tenders, entering into significant contracts, or dealing with government authorities. The certificate contains current and historical information about the company, including its legal form, registered office, management structure, and capital details. It is regularly requested by banks, business partners, and authorities to verify a company's legal status and representation powers.
