Should an association make a statement after each general meeting?

Verified 24 July 2024 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

In principle, there is no no declaration to be carried out in the prefecture following each general meeting.

However, the subsequent changes must be declared within 3 months following the general meeting:

  • Rename or object change for the association
  • Change of seat address and/or management address
  • Appointment of new directors (surname, first name, profession, domicile and nationality and function must be declared)
  • Amendment of the statutes
  • Opening or closing of the place or one of the places where the association carries on its activities
  • Voluntary acquisition or transfer to others (whether free of charge or against payment) of ownership of property (for example, premises used for administration and the performance of the activity)
  • New composition of a union or federation (membership or withdrawal of a member association)

The declaration can be made online, by mail or on the spot whether it is a statutory amendment or a change in administration of the combination.

When the general meeting has decided on a change of name, purpose or address of the registered office, the officers may request the publication of such changes, at the JOAFE: titleContent, when they are declared in the prefecture. This publication in the JOAFE is not mandatory, but recommended.
