An information message displays, informing you about the publicly available information of your organisation when it is registered in Organisation Registration system.

If you try to navigate to the next section without having completed the previous one, a warning message displays. 

5. Fill in the "Organisation data"

Provide the required information on your organisation, such as the legal name, business name, legal status, language, country and more. 

The available tool tips, indicated with the icon , provide additional instructions and assistance for filling in each field.

5.1. VAT number validation in Organisation Registration system

In the Organisation Registration system enhanced verification has been introduced for the VAT field. 

The VAT number of an organisation in ORS must adhere to the national formatting rules. However, this does not imply a direct verification of the validity of the specified VAT number in ORS. Such checks may be implemented during the organisation validation and certification process by the National Agencies.

If you try to introduce a VAT code that does not adhere to the formatting rules for your country, or if you try to edit an existing organisation, where the VAT code does not meet the enhanced validation rules, you will no longer be able to save your changes until the VAT code has been corrected. 

Depending on the selected type of organisation, the VAT number may or may not be required.

The VAT number is not applicable to natural persons or organisations exempted from VAT: 

The VAT number is required for the selected type of organisation and registration country in our example:

Here is an example of a valid VAT number format for the registration country:

Here is an example of an invalid VAT number format for the registration country:

For further information on applied rules and validation of VAT numbers, see: FAQs on VIES (VAT Information Exchange System).

5.2. Complete Organisation data

After all mandatory information is entered, the Organisation data menu icon turns green and you can proceed to the Legal Address section.

6. Fill in the "Legal Address"

Access the Legal address section from the Content menu and provide the required information. 

After all mandatory fields are completed, the Legal address menu icon turns green and you can proceed to the Organisation Contact Person section.

7. Add the "Organisation Contact Person"

7.1. Access the "Organisation Contact Person" section in the Content menu

The Organisation Contact Person screen opens. 

7.2. Provide all required information

Information such as First and Last Name, Position in the organisation and professional e-mail have to be provided. All mandatory fields are clearly marked with *.

By default, the checkboxes to use the organisation phones and organisation address are not ticked. If those details are the correct ones for the Organisation Contact Person, tick the checkboxes. The relevant information will be taken over from the Organisation Data section of the registration form. If the phone numbers and/or address of the contact person are different from the information provided under Organisation Data, provide the information in the available fields. 

The icon in the Content Menu changes to green once all mandatory information in this section is provided. You can proceed to the next part of the registration: Authorised Users. 

8. Add the first "Authorised User"

As the person registering the organisation, you are the first Authorised User. 

At this point in the registration process it is not possible to add more authorised users, but the option is available after the registration form is submitted.

8.1. Access the "Users" section

The Users screen opens with an empty table, where you must enter your personal details. Your professional email address is already filled in as it is retrieved from your EU Login account. This e-mail address cannot be changed. 

8.2. Provide all required information

Provide the missing mandatory information. The icon in the Content menu changes to green when all required fields are filled in. 

There are two ways of recording the details:

1. If you are also the contact person of the organisation, click on the Copy contact person details button to quickly fill in your information from the Organisation Contact Person section.
   Remember: You cannot replace your own professional email, otherwise you would lose access to the organisation. If you used a different email in the Contact Person section, that email does not allow you to sign in as an authorised user.
2. If you are not the contact person, fill in your details manually
   1. If your phone numbers and/or address are the same as those provided under Organisation Data section, tick the Use organisation phones? and Use organisation address? checkboxes. Otherwise, fill in details in the available fields. 

In our example below, the contact person is the same as the authorised user, but the professional email addresses are different.

9. Click "Submit" to submit the data

Once all information is entered in the registration form, all sections in the Content Menu are marked with a green tick mark, a green status message is displayed and the Submit button in the top right corner is enabled. Click the button to submit your data to finalise the registration.

A confirmation message is displayed as well as your newly created Organisation ID. The Organisation ID consists of 8 digits preceded by the letter "E". 

The screen changes to Edit My Organisation and the Submit button is replaced by an Update button.

A header is displayed with the main information about your organisations your screen and the status of your registration. You will notice the status has now changed from Draft to Registered and the newly created Organisation ID, as well as the Legal name of your organisation is displayed. 

The Registered status indicates that the submission was successful. It does not mean that the organisation is already certified by the National Agency.

Once you have registered your organisation, two more sections become immediately available:

• Accreditations
• Documents 

Moreover, it is now possible to add more authorised users. It is recommended that you add at least one additional authorised user.

10. The "Accreditations" section

Once the organisation is registered you can add documents that are needed by the National Agency to certify your organisation. Information on the documents to be uploaded can be found in the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps programme guides. See the page Manage documents in the Organisation Registration system for additional information on how to upload and manage your organisation documents.

12. Notifications

The Organisation Registration system will send a notification e-mail to the person that registered the organisation and all persons that have been indicated as authorised users. This notification will include the Organisation ID, additional information and relevant links.
