What the Amtsgericht Bochum says about powers of attorney
Application by third parties: only with power of attorney
The Amtsgericht Bochum writes on its land register page, word for word: «A land register extract can also be requested by third parties if the third party holds a power of attorney from you and presents it to the land register department of the Amtsgericht.» That is exactly how we work: without your signed power of attorney we submit no application.

In the same section the court warns: if obtaining it is offered online without such a power of attorney, the offer may be dubious. The Amtsgericht has no influence on private providers' prices.
For Bochum, the city names the land registry of the Amtsgericht Bochum as the place to go. In North Rhine-Westphalia the land register is kept only electronically; plot boundaries are not in it, they come from the cadastral office.

May someone else apply for the land register extract for me?
Yes. The Amtsgericht Bochum writes that third parties can also apply if they hold a power of attorney from you and present it to the land register department. The court calls an offer without a power of attorney possibly dubious. We therefore only apply with your signed power of attorney.
Who has a legitimate interest in the land register?
According to the Amtsgericht, in principle anyone with a registered right, i.e. ownership, land charge, mortgage, right of way or right of residence. Others present proof to the land registry, such as the owner's power of attorney. The land registry Bochum decides whether your interest is enough; we do not assess it.
What is not in the land register?
The plot boundaries. The land register says nothing on these; the city's cadastral office does, in Bochum the city itself. The land register shows owners, encumbrances and restrictions such as rights of way or pre-emption rights, plus land charges and mortgages. For a map of the plot there is the cadastral map extract.
Simple or official land register printout – what is the difference?
The Amtsgericht Bochum distinguishes the uncertified printout for 10 euros and the certified, official one for 20 euros. The body asking for it, such as a bank or an authority, tells you which you need. We apply for the version you choose when ordering; our fixed price stays 49 euros including the fee in both cases.
