No registration date on the certificate

Sometimes the registration date when a person started their assignment is not on the certificate. This is because we do not have the information in our registers and it applies in the following cases:

• people with assignments in limited companies since 1991 or longer
• people who have been sole traders since 1993 or longer
• people with assignments in trading partnerships and limited partnerships since 1993 or longer
• people with assignments in branches since 1993 or longer
• people with assignments in banking or insurance companies since 2002 or longer
• people with assignments in non-profit associations which run business activities since 1993 or longer
• people with assignments in religious communities which run business activities since 2006 or longer
• auditors and deputy auditors in limited companies with assignments starting in 2003 or earlier.

There will be no end date shown on the certificate if a person’s assignments are still current.
