If you, as a capital management company (KVG), manage real estate for

real estate special funds,
domestic special alternative investment funds (special AIFs) with fixed investment conditions and
closed-end public alternative investment funds (public AIFs)

you must have the responsible custodian entered in the land register or later provide evidence of its authorization to consent to a sale.

In order to be able to prove to the land registry that the depositary has been approved by the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), you need a land registry certificate. You can apply for this online from BaFin via the portal of the notification and publication platform (MVP Portal).

You can apply for the land registry certificate informally via the MVP portal.

Log in to the MVP with your access data.
- If you do not yet have access: First register on the MVP.
In your application, state the exact name of the investment fund and, if applicable, its previous names as well as the department responsible for supervision.
Send the application to BaFin via the MVP portal.
You will receive the certificate as a PDF file after review via the MVP portal.
