Minutes of a constitutive general meeting (proces-verbal d'assemblee constitutive)
The minutes of the constitutive general meeting are the document that officially records the birth of your loi 1901 association. It attests to the gathering of the founding members, the adoption of the statuts and the appointment of the first directors (president, secretary, treasurer). Although it is not required for every procedure, this proces-verbal is very often requested by the prefecture, the bank or funding bodies to justify the regularity of the incorporation and the identity of the persons authorized to act on behalf of the association. This form is in English, but the document is generated in French, ready to sign and use in France.
Note: the questionnaire is in English; the generated document is in French.

Frequently asked questions
Are the constitutive minutes mandatory?
The loi 1901 does not expressly require them, but they are strongly recommended and frequently required in practice. The prefecture, the bank or funding bodies often request this document to verify the date of incorporation and the identity of the appointed directors.
Who signs the minutes of the constitutive meeting?
The minutes are generally signed by the president and the secretary of the meeting appointed during the meeting. These signatures attest to the accuracy of the deliberations and the decisions taken by the founding members.
What is the difference between the statuts and the minutes?
The statuts define the permanent operating rules of the association. The minutes, on the other hand, are a one-off record: they attest that, on a given date, the founders gathered, adopted these statuts and appointed the first directors.
