What does the RNA contain?

The RNA lists all the associations covered by the Law of 1 July 1901 on the contract of association, whose registered office is in France (metropolis and overseas) with the exception of the departments of Moselle (57), Bas-Rhin (67) and Haut-Rhin (68) which fall under a specific regime.
The RNA also contains, under the same conditions, associations recognised as being in the public interest.
The RNA is fed after the file has been examined by the registry of associations when it is set up, amended or dissolved.

Creation declarations are then published in the Official Journal of Associations and Corporate Foundations (JOAFE).

Methods of Dissemination of RNA Data

Conformément aux dispositions de la loi pour une République numérique du 7 octobre 2016 les données du RNA mises à disposition par le ministère de l’Intérieur et font partie des données accessibles en consultation et téléchargeables en données ouvertes.

The content of the downloadable data is divided into two extractions:
RNA_waldec: list of associations with an RNA number. All associations created or having declared a change of situation since 2009 have an RNA number.
RNA_import: list of associations created since 1901 and which have not made a declaration of change of situation since 2009.

A revised version of the RNA is being prepared by the Ministry of the Interior; it will eventually make it possible to harmonise the monitoring of registries throughout the national territory.

Content of extractions:

• if applicable, RNA number
• the name of the association and its acronym
• the purpose of the association and its corporate purpose
