Before the automated opening of REHA accounts can start in the Union Registry, compliance accounts must fulfil certain criteria. Compliance accounts which do not fulfil these criteria cannot be automatically transferred to the Union Registry. Therefore, please perform the following three checks in the nEHS registry as soon as possible, and make changes if applicable:

• In the nEHS registry, check if your compliance account has the status “Ausschließlich Abgabe und Löschung” (surrender and deletion only) (via “Konten und Transaktionen” (accounts and transactions) > “Kontoinhaber-Name” (account holder name) under “Kontoinformationen” (account information) in the “Kontostatus” (account status) field). Accounts with this status cannot be migrated. Obtain the necessary supporting documents and request the revocation of the status “Ausschließlich Abgabe und Löschung” (surrender and deletion only) in the nEHS registry (via the path above and by clicking “Aktionen” (actions) > “Kontostatus ‘Ausschließlich Abgabe’ ändern” (change account status ‘surrender only’).
• Check in the nEHS registry whether at least two authorised representatives (kbPs) have been designated for your compliance account. Accounts with only one kbP cannot be migrated. Account holders can designate new kbP by following the path shown above and clicking on “+ Neuer Eintrag” (+ new entry) in the right-hand column
• Check in the nEHS registry whether at least two designated kbPs who are to be migrated with the account have established access to the Union Registry and have entered their URID (Union Registry Identification Number, starting with DE and followed by 12 digits) in the nEHS registry. The PDF sent to kbPs following their registration will show if a URID has been provided and which one. If no URID has been provided yet, this can be done by changing the registration data. Log in as kbP and then click on the profile tab with your name in the top right corner. Then select “Nutzerinformationen > Registrierung ändern” (user information > change registration). KbPs will receive a URID after setting up access in the EU Login App and then logging in to the Union Registry.

If all necessary criteria have been fulfilled, account holders can complete the migration form and submit it to the nEHS registry. Upon submission of the migration form, the opening of a REHA account is requested via the nEHS registry. The migration form can be found in the nEHS registry under “Konten” (accounts) > “Konten und neue Transaktionen” (accounts and new transactions) > “Kontoinhaber-Name” (account holder name) in the “Kontoinhaber” column (account holder) > “Kontoelemente” (account elements) > “Kontoeröffnung EU-ETS 2” (open EU ETS 2 account).

The migration form contains the following subsections:

Kontoinformationen (account information) - This section is used by account holders to specify the name of the account in the Union Registry. In addition, you can determine the security settings of the account in the Union Registry.

Kontoinhaber (KI) (account holder) - This section allows account holders to add or update any additional information about the account holder, if applicable.

Kontobevollmächtigte Personen (kdP) (authorised representatives) - This section allows account holders to determine which authorised representatives are added to the REHA account in the Union Registry (UR). In addition, account holders must assign the rights kbP shall be granted when opening an account in the Union Registry. Please note that, by way of derogation from the nEHS registry, account holders in the Union Registry do not have their own access and only hold the account through the designated authorised representatives.

After collection of the required data, account holders submit the form, and with it the application to open an REHA account, after entering the token via “Submit”. Insofar as no errors are reported during the completion process, the application to open an REHA account is deemed to have been automatically checked after the migration form has been submitted.

Please note that it is possible to submit the migration form despite certain error messages. This may be the case, for example, if the data on the account holder identifier or the URID differs between the nEHS registry and the Union Registry. In such cases, the migration form is still deemed to have been submitted but the DEHSt will check the information again manually.

After successful submission, your application shows the status “Completed”. If your application shows the status “Entered”, the form has not been submitted and no automated account opening can take place in the Union Registry.

Once a migration form has been submitted, it can be resubmitted by the cutoff date at the latest if any changes are necessary. You can check or initiate the status of an application or reprocessing under “Konten” (accounts) > “Vorgänge und Gebühren” (procedures and fees) > “Konten” (accounts).
