Incorporating your company online at Beglaubigt.de is a fully digitized process that prioritizes efficiency and convenience. Here's how it works:

2. registration and identification:
The parties involved register via a smartphone app specially designed for this purpose.
You use the eID function of your ID card or passport for identification. The app reads the passport photo directly from the chip on the ID card. This requires a readable ID card, passport (CAN procedure) or an eID card.
Foreigners may require an electronic residence permit with activated online ID function and PIN.
3. electronic signature:
The signatures for the founding documents are provided electronically via a qualified electronic signature (QES).
A certificate that replaces the handwritten signature can be obtained from various certification service providers. These usually issue a smart card with a PIN, which is read using card readers.
