Do I need to nominate a company secretary to register a German company? Are there any restrictions on the nationality of the company secretary?

If the director of a registered German company is not a German resident, a German resident will need to be nominated as company secretary to act as a contact person for the German authorities in their territory.

When signing company/compliance documents, should the client also fill in the date?

No. Clients should sign documents without filling in the date. Leaving the date blank avoids having to re-sign if an error is found and the documents must be corrected.
