Part 1 - How can I register as a yoummday talent?

This article is about your way to yoummday and our registration process

To create your profile, first fill out our registration form and verify your email address. As soon as you click on "Get ready to start" in the talent dashboard, the following process will open:

At this point you have already entered your first and last name. In addition, it is relevant for us to know your work and billing address, so that we know which tax and data protection regulations apply to you. This is also one of the reasons why our clients make different offers for EU and non-EU. 

The billing address is the address to which the invoice or credit note is issued and the location of your company. It defines the tax and data protection regulations that apply to you, depending on the legal rules of your country. 

On the other hand, the work address is the place where you perform your services, i.e. your workplace. Depending on the project, it may be possible to provide services from several work addresses. Basically, each work address must be known and verified. 

As soon as your contact details are stored, you can continue with the section documents.

In order to verify your provided contact information, we now require a valid identification document and proof of your billing address. This is necessary since we do not only care about the safety of our talents but also that of our clients.

You will first be asked to upload an identification document. As we work with personal data in our customer projects, we have to confirm the authenticity of your identity to prevent improper use of this data. Accepted document types are for example your: 

• ID card 
• Passport 
• driver's license 
• residence permit

To confirm and verify the authenticity of your billing address, you will now be asked to upload proof of address. Ideally, your address is already listed on your ID card. However, if this is not the case, you can upload a current water, electricity or cell phone bill as well as a certificate of registration. It is important that the bill is from a public or official body and that your full name and the address you entered in your profile are visible. Accepted document types are for example your: 

• Best case: Address is on your ID card 
• Invoices from official bodies
• Registration certificate, official letter
• Water, electricity, cell phone, telephone bill 

Since the projects on our platform are only aimed at self-employed entrepreneurs, your income must be taxed according to the laws of your country. If your billing address is in Germany, a trade license is also required. 

In the last step of the "Documents" section, you will be asked to indicate whether your remuneration and invoices contain sales tax. If this is the case and you tick "Yes, my invoices contain VAT", the VAT ID will be shown in your credit note. If you have individual questions about your VAT model and your VAT ID, please contact your tax advisor.

If you offer services from one EU country to another EU country, a VAT ID is generally required. If your billing address is in an EU country but not in Germany, you are required to provide a VAT ID.

Once all relevant documents have been uploaded to the right place in your profile, you can continue with the onboarding. The following article will help you with all further steps.
