The foundation for the creation of the association is the 1996 Federal Law on "Non-profit Organizations" No. 7-FZ, in which the terms "association" and "union" are considered synonymous. Also, the activities of associations are regulated by the norms of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

- - consultant on registration of a non-profit organization in the form of an association;

Instructions
Step 1
State registration of an association is a rather laborious procedure. It is required to go through a complex bureaucratic procedure, collect a large package of necessary documents and information about all members of the future association.
An association is a non-profit organization created by bringing together commercial or non-profit organizations for the purpose of joint activities and protection of common interests.
Step 2
Association members are legal entities. Despite their participation in the new formation, they fully retain their rights and obligations in their original line of business, and also acquire new shared responsibility for the obligations of the association. The degree of responsibility and obligations of each of the members of the association are clearly stated in the Articles of Association and the Memorandum of Association. The same documents determine the management structure and executive bodies.
According to Law No. 7-FZ on "Non-profit Organizations", an association may include either only commercial or exclusively non-profit organizations. Participation of both those and others at the same time is not allowed.
Step 3
The property of the association consists of receipts from its members - legal entities, and from other legal sources. The property can be used only for those purposes that were indicated in the constituent documents. Although the association is the owner of the property, when it is liquidated, it cannot be distributed among its members, but only aimed at purposes similar to those of the liquidated association.
Step 4
According to the law, there must be a supreme governing body, in the form of a general meeting of the members of the association. Each representative of the member organizations of the union has one vote. The responsibilities of the supreme enforcement authority include:
- formation of executive bodies;
- termination of the powers of performers;
- if necessary, changing the Articles of Association;
- approval of the annual report and balance sheet;
- creation of branches and representative offices;
- resolving issues on the need for reorganization or termination of the union.
Step 5
For the state registration of an association, the following package of documents is required:
- information about the future association (full and abbreviated name in Russian, goals and objectives of the association, types of economic activities according to OKVED, address of location);
- certificate of state registration of legal entities - founders;
- extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (regular copy);
- certificate of tax registration of the founders;
- copy of the passport of the General Director;
- application for state registration;
- receipt of payment of state duty.
The package of documents is submitted to the Ministry of Justice.

- register it as part of public and religious organizations (unions) at the Federal Reserve Headquarters in Moscow;
- obtain a Certificate of registration of the organization (association) in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and a certificate of registration with the Federal Tax Service;
- get a certificate from Rosstat;
