Verein verifizieren
Wie ein Verein das grüne Siegel bekommt: Verband um Verifizierung bitten, der Verband bestätigt, das Siegel erscheint auf der Vereinsseite.
Show transcript
- Das grüne Siegel zeigt, dass ein Verband für deinen Verein bürgt. Die Leitung öffnet dazu Vereinsleben und dann Mitgliedschaft und Verifizierung.
- Hier steht: noch nicht verifiziert. Gib die Kennung des Verbands ein, also den hinteren Teil seiner Adresse.
- Mit Bitten geht die Anfrage an den Verband. Sie wirkt, sobald dessen Leitung zustimmt.
- Beim Verband erscheint die Anfrage unter Anfragen von Vereinen. Die Leitung des Verbands prüft sie.
- Mit Verifizieren bestätigt der Verband den Verein. Für den Verein selbst ist das kostenlos.
- Fertig: Auf der Vereinsseite erscheint das grüne Siegel. Mitglieder und Interessierte sehen, dass der Verband für den Verein bürgt.
Prerequisites
- You are owner or administrator of your club.
- You know the identifier of the association or municipality (the part of the address after /organisation/).
- The association or municipality has enabled verification (this costs nothing).
Who may do this?
Plan, verification and invoice items are visible only to owners and administrators of the organization itself, not to the association above it. Everyone else does not see the “Membership and verification” page.
Step by step
Open the page
In club life switch to “Leadership” and under “Manage members” open “Membership and verification”.
Ask the association or municipality
Under “Ask an association or municipality for verification” enter the page identifier (for example kennung-des-verbands) and click “Ask”. “Request sent. It takes effect as soon as the leadership there agrees.” appears.
Wait for approval
The leadership of the association or municipality decides. A verification is always a request that the other side must confirm. Until then you can take the request back with “Withdraw request”.
Answer a request from an association
If an association or municipality asks you, the request appears here. Click “Agree” or “Decline”. After you agree, your club shows the green seal on its logo and the line “Verified member of …”.
Renew or end
A verification is limited in time (“Valid until …”). With “End” you take it back at any time; the seal disappears immediately and the issuer sees nothing more about you. Your data and functions stay unchanged.
You can find the feature here: /organisation/<kennung>/vereinsleben/mitgliedschaft
Common errors and solutions
- “Association or municipality not found.”
- The identifier is wrong. It is in the address of the page after /organisation/.
- “Only for the leadership of this organization”
- The page is not available to you: only owners and administrators of the club see it.
- “Activation needed – to verify, verification must be enabled for your association.”
- This concerns an association or municipality: at the top of the page choose “Enable verification” and confirm “Enable”. It costs nothing.
Good to know
- For your club the seal of an association or municipality is free. Charges arise at the issuer. Club rights never depend on payment.
- Associations only see verified clubs and their verified members. Unverified organizations stay invisible; the association only sees how many there are.
- Verifying members is voluntary; each person must agree themselves and can withdraw at any time. Voting rights in the club never depend on it.
