Does the German government have any nationality or status restrictions on foreigners registering companies locally?

The German government does not impose any nationality or identity restrictions on foreigners registering a German company and does not require EU residency as a nominee director. However, if the director of the German company is not a German resident, a German resident is required to act as company secretary as a contact person for the German authorities in their territory.

What is the scope of the nominee director service — what does the nominee director actually do?

The nominee director service is strictly limited to facilitating company registration and bank account opening. The nominee has no actual operating or decision-making authority and serves only a formal compliance purpose. Any other cooperation or action by the nominee is charged separately and cannot be guaranteed within the standard contract; a director-change fee should generally be collected in advance.
