Powers of attorney

Who needs an authorisation/power of attorney

• (I have a business.) Who needs an authorisation when dealing with GEMA?

  In principle, all those who are not owners of a customer account require an authorisation. If a company is the owner of the customer account, the Managing Directors also require an authorisation or power of attorney.
  
  If an association is the owner of the customer account, the board of directors or management committee members require an authorisation. Supporting documentation is always the current extract from the trade register or register of associations. Persons who are authorised signatories should also include supporting documents.

• I am the owner and Managing Director of a business, do I need to issue an authorisation to myself?

  Yes we need an authorisation from you, especially because of the handwritten personal signature. If a customer account is created for a company or an association, we often do not receive all the required details. Another reason: It is possible that there are changes in terms of company management or its board of directors or management committee. As a consequence, all of the Managing Directors require an authorisation or power of attorney. Please also kindly include an extract from the trade register or register of associations as supporting documentation.
