How to obtain or retrieve the Siret number of an association?
Verified 20 September 2024 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
An association does not necessarily have a SIRET number when it is created. However, it must obtain one if it carries out activities which require registration in the national register of companies and establishments, including economic activities, or if it employs employees.
An association must apply for registration in the national register of companies and establishments, also known as the register Sirene: titleContent, when it fills at least one of the following conditions:
- She wants to apply for public subsidies
- It plans to employ employees
- It carries out activities which lead to the payment of the VAT: titleContent or business tax.
The association is assigned a Siren number (9-digit number).
Where it includes establishments, each establishment shall also be assigned a Siret number (14-digit number).
The procedure for obtaining registration in the Siren register varies according to the reason for which it is requested.
