Registrierung von Personen beantragen, die Rentenberatung als Rechtsdienstleistung anbieten

Would you like to offer pension advice? Then you need to be registered in the legal services register, for which you must provide proof of your specialist knowledge.

Every legal service is a responsible activity for which you must meet various requirements. This serves to protect those seeking legal advice from unqualified legal services.

If you wish to provide pension advice on a commercial basis, you must prove your personal suitability and specialist knowledge and register with the Legal Services Register.

You can provide pension advice in various areas. These include

• statutory pension and accident insurance
• social compensation law
• social security and disability law with reference to a statutory pension
• occupational and occupational pension schemes

You can apply for registration as

• natural person
• legal entity
• a partnership with legal capacity

Legal entities include, for example

• Limited liability company (GmbH)
• associations
• foundations

Partnerships with legal capacity include, for example

• Civil law partnership (GbR)
• General partnership (oHG)

As a legal entity or a partnership with legal capacity, you must appoint a natural person to represent you externally and who meets the professional requirements.

Registration in the legal services register only allows you to work outside of court and in certain proceedings before the social courts.

When registering, you may be subject to conditions that can be imposed or changed at any time.

If you are established in another country of the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) to practise a comparable profession, you can apply for temporary registration.

You can also register via the Single Point of Contact (SPC) in your federal state.

Once you have been registered, the competent registration authority will arrange for your registration to be publicly announced in the Legal Services Register.
