German commercial register number (Handelsregisternummer)

ID handelsregisternr

DatatypeNot PIIidentifier

Number of an entry in the German commercial register (Handelsregister), which the local courts (Amtsgerichte) keep. It is the register section and a number of up to six digits: HRA for sole traders and partnerships such as OHG and KG, HRB for corporations such as GmbH and AG. Some courts add a letter suffix, as in HRB 12345 B. The cooperative (GnR), partnership (PR) and association (VR) registers number their entries the same way. A number is unique only together with the court, as in Amtsgericht München HRB 123456. HRA entries can name natural persons (sole traders).
