<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",serif">Within Germany we face the problem that trade registers and the numbers they assign are not kept on a Germany-wide level and not even on the state level either. The commercial registers
are maintained by district courts (“Amtsgerichte”). Therefore, the according numbering schemes are only unique on a district level; neither the (fictional) OrganizationIdentifer
<i>NTRDE-HRA123456</i> nor <i>NTRDE+NW-HRA123456</i> guarantee uniqueness. The register ID “HRA123456” can be
<b>assigned several times</b> not only within Germany but even <b>within the “Bundesland” (state)</b> North Rhine-Westphalia (NW).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",serif">Therefore, in order to provide uniqueness on a Germany-wide level the register provider needs to be uniquely identified as well and a
<b>unique ID assigned to the register</b> should be included in the OrganizationIdentifier. This is where the “EUID” comes into play. The EUID is a common format for commercial register IDs within the European Union / European Economic Area (EU/EEA). It is
based upon EU legislation, see <a href="https://url.avanan.click/v2/___https:/eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32021R1042&from=en___.YXAzOmRpZ2ljZXJ0OmE6bzpmMWMyZjE4ZjI0ZDk1YjZlOWE4OGVmZjFhMDhiYWQ1YTo2OjliNDI6YjBiOWU1Yjg4MDE4YjgxZGZjYjIxNTJmOGQ3Njk2YzMwZGIwNDgzMjFkMjhjODNhZTY1YzZlNDJiZDJkYmM0NDpoOkY" title="Protected by Avanan: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32021R1042&from=en">
