1. Digital Identification:
- A valid ID card with activated online identification function (eID) or a European eID.
- A valid passport to read the photo if your ID card was issued before August 1, 2021. Please note that the issue date is important, not the expiration date.
2. Berlin Registration:

- Template-based Formation:
- The formation must be a template-based formation, meaning the notary fees must not exceed €300.
- Cash Formation:
- It must be a cash formation; the share capital (minimum of €1) cannot be contributed as assets.
- Technical Equipment:

- How does the online company formation process work?
The online formation of your company with Beglaubigt.de is a fully digitized process that emphasizes efficiency and convenience. Here's how it works:
1. Videoconference Setup:
- The formation process takes place via a secure online videoconferencing system. The founders, managing directors, and the notary participate in this videoconference to discuss and notarize all necessary documents, such as shareholder declarations and the articles of association.
2. Registration and Identification:
- Participants register via a dedicated smartphone app.
For identification, you will use the eID function of your ID card or passport. The app reads the photo directly from the chip on the ID. - This requires a readable ID card, passport (CAN procedure), or an eID card.
- Foreign nationals may need an electronic residence permit with an activated online ID function and PIN.
3. Electronic Signature:
- Signatures for the formation documents are made electronically using a qualified electronic signature (QES).
- A certificate, which replaces a handwritten signature, can be obtained from various certification service providers. These providers typically issue a smartcard with a PIN, which can be read using card readers.
Benefits of this Process:
- Speed and Flexibility: Online formation saves time and allows you to participate in the formation from anywhere.
- Security: The use of eID and QES ensures the highest security standards for identification and signing.
- Efficiency: The pre-review and digital preparation of documents significantly accelerate the process.

The processing time for your request may vary depending on factors such as the type and scope of the requested service and current workload. Typically, the processing time is about two weeks.
