We act as a middleman in some financial services stuff and so also have to properly identify our customers. Our upstream providers' form doesn't require a register number, but does have a "founding date". One of our customers is the Catholic Church, so ... roughly 33 A.D?
Another field requires the "legal form" and one of our customers is an "organization according to old law". They do have founding documents, for they were "founded by Senate decree of October 12, 1874" or somesuch.

@henryk@chaos.social If your customer were the local diocese or conference of bishops (rather than the entire Catholic Church), the founding date would be more recent, I guess. @fanf@mendeddrum.org
