Link an association and its notices
Start with RNA, check JOAFE events and match SIREN or SIRET only when documented.
Documents to open in this workflow
This order suggests a starting point; revisit a step if identifiers, dates or versions disagree. Access and reuse terms depend on each service.
Répertoire national des associations — RNA
Consult registry data for associations under the 1901 law, including RNA_waldec and RNA_import extracts.
What to record
Legal entity and registration fields. Access date and displayed update date; current state does not reconstruct all history.
Source-specific check
Coverage excludes Moselle, Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin. RNA_import concerns associations with no declared change since 2009; an old record does not establish current activity.
Open source portalJOAFE — associations et fondations
Find published notices and annual accounts for associations, foundations and endowment funds.
What to record
Dated event notice, not the full current entity state. Event date, publication date and corrections.
Source-specific check
Retain RNA, any SIREN, notice number and publication date. A notice and filed accounts do not establish the same operation.
Open source portalAnnuaire des Entreprises
Find a French entity by name, SIREN or SIRET and compare administrative records.
What to record
SIREN, relevant SIRET, cited field, named producer, URL and access date.
Source-specific check
Open the field’s source; two aggregators using one register are not two confirmations.
Open source portal
Matching condition
Link RNA, name, seat and notices; add SIREN only when documented.
If results disagree
Namesakes or organisations outside RNA coverage stay separate; seek the competent registry instead of inventing an identifier.
Output to produce
Association record and notice timeline.
Separate documentary evidence, demonstrated links between documents and remaining inference. State the owner and review trigger.

Frequently asked questions
What link should be checked before matching results?
Link RNA, name, seat and notices; add SIREN only when documented.
What if sources appear to contradict each other?
Namesakes or organisations outside RNA coverage stay separate; seek the competent registry instead of inventing an identifier.
Do the listed portals provide independent confirmation?
Not necessarily. Identify the producer and underlying document. Two interfaces distributing one item can check transcription but do not establish a fact independently twice.
