What is special in Düsseldorf

Duplicate without a published fee

The city of Düsseldorf's service page describes registration, change and deregistration with fees, but not a duplicate. That is why this page states no fee for it. We ask the Gewerbemeldestelle about it before we submit the application.

In Köln, by contrast, the duplicate is described separately: 15 euros, application with signature by post or fax. We do not derive a Düsseldorf figure from this.

For registration, change and deregistration, Düsseldorf offers two online routes: «Einfach Gründen» for sole proprietorships and the Wirtschafts-Service-Portal.NRW with BundID or a company account based on ELSTER. Whether a duplicate is also possible there, the city's page does not say.

If you only want to know which data is stored about a business, you are looking for something else: for information from the trade register, the Ordnungsamt runs a separate service.
